ran the 18 mile approach to the blue glacier of mount olympus, then down the moraine to the glacier and then back to the hoh valley visitors center. great day, long approach with crampons and ice axe.
i made the moraine in 3:52 same as fastest known time split. would have tried to summit if the entire snow dome wasn't riddled with massive crevasses. after the 8hrs with no summit i was finished... so it's a very very good thing i couldn't summit, because i would have been a shit show by the end of that.
hip didn't feel good then went away then knees/hip/feet all kind of ached by the end.
blog to come soon.
