Mountain Summer

Summer is here, as well as the rain, so everything is getting pretty again after a long (Winter & Spring) dry season. Yesterday I did another speed solo ascent of Iztaccíhuatl via the Ayoloco route. I didn't break my personal record from April but logged a great time of 3:40:17, from car to summit, and 5:58:50 roundtrip!

Originally, my idea was to do a double ascent of the mountain as a hills/endurance training for the upcoming Leadville Trail 100-miler in August, but weather didn't look promising while I was coming down from the 1st lap, so I opted to leave it for another day. Hopefully in a couple of weeks...

Rest of the pictures are here.
