7 on treadmill. Knees still pretty swollen and banged up from rock hoping with overloaded backpack last weekend.

MOUNT OLYMPUS

Easily the hardest (short) hike on the Wasatch. 4,200 ft vert in just over 3 miles.

Got off to a good start then off-course for over a mile when I mistakenly jumped on the BST. Really ticked me off and from there I was grumpy and ready to quit. Kept after it but it was a whole different deal after the extra miles.

I don't recall ever sweating as much as I did on this hike. Western facing, hot, sweat soaked cloths and constantly wiping and dripping sweat heading up. I bet I lost 5+ lbs and had only 1 bottle.

Met a kid sitting on a rock heading to the summit. He was done--exhausted and had thrown in the towel. I coaxed him off his rock and drug him up to the summit with me. I stayed with him coming down as the sun had gone down and this clearly wasn't his thing. Turns out his gal had dumped him earlier that day. I told him to post a picture of him at the summit as kind of a "hey...I'm good...look at me!." Nice kid.

Drag two liters of Powerade and ate two Del Taco bean and cheese burritos when I got down. Got on the scale and was still 4 lbs under weight.

Tough hike.

ALTA-BRIGHTON LOOP

Didn't quite run the route I was after. Need to study the map a bit more. Fun day out nevertheless.
