10 peaks in a 10 mile ridgeline continuously above 13k with some good scrambly bits. Not many places you can find that! Definitely brought too much water - I dumped almost a liter on the way down. It actually rained on me on peaks nine and 10. I was super super tempted to tack on Crystal peak both to hit 10k feet and also because I feel guilty that I accidentally skirted peak 6 by 100 feet or so. All the rocks were wet though, and I didn’t trust the weather window although I could’ve done it in retrospect. Oh well, the conservative decisions I make are the ones that give me the confidence to trust the times I decide to go for it. despite this being a route from Frisco to Breckenridge, I didn’t see a soul until the descent. Discovered that I much prefer running on class 2 rock over grass.
