Working on getting the map up.

Liaison 1: Climb from Water Towers to Leopard
Stage 1: Leopard - Kirkford down to 3rd switchback
Liaison 2: Climb from 3rd Switchback up to Pipeline
Stage 2: Pipeline
Liaison 3: East on BP
Stage 3: BP (it will include the climb up to Stairs of Despair)

Sweet, thanks for the info Shirk, that sounds like a fun course! If anyone is looking for me I'll be spending the next two days making cut lines on those trails.

For tomorrow's race, I think slower might be faster. There are not many seconds to be made up on Leppard/Kirkford or Pipeline by hammering.

LOL yup. I'm glad it's not just me. I hadn't been down there in ages and I was literally thinking to myself, "What sadistic bastard rated this a blue trail".

I ran into Mr. Bond last night on the BP and we had a good laugh that not too many years ago Pipeline was the recommendation for a beginner trail on Fromme.

Looks like the weather will hold out for tonight so it should be good.
