Comments
Comments: A FINE way to end the day. What a butt kicker. All those mornings on Tecumseh helped tremendously on this, its only about 3 miles one way but its 2800 vert gain. Good stuff! Hit it at golden hour just before sunset with long key lighting. Exceptional. I never remember where the summit is and theres a few bumps on the same contour band more or less, so I hit them all to be sure. Down without a headlamp, but barely. Got a great glimpse of Venus next to the moon.
