Pfeifferhorn: 1:42 summit / 2:57 total (part deux)
Evening run back up the Pfeifferhorn (I get cooler every time I say "Pfeifferhorn").This time summit via Red Pine lake. Ran it hard including small diversion to Upper Red Pine Lake, then up the ridge and summit. I finally found where the trail leads up to the ridge from Red Pine lake so I won't have to rock-hop and scramble as much. I think I can go sub 1:30 next time.
Lots of smoke, eyes and lungs burning from fire out west. Very lonely run...nobody up top and only 1-2 in between (I like it that way).
Didn't bring my headlamp and ran out of daylight 1/2 way down. Fortunately had Flashlight App on my phone which helped immensely. I really should be smarter about such things...no shirt, no light, solo evening run--duh.
Love this place!
