Been wanting to check out this #ridgerunning route

Been wanting to check out this #ridgerunning route in the #teanaway for a while so I grabbed @adellario for this adventure and it didn’t disappoint. Massively awesome day with a lot of off trail scrambling, scree-stepping, and some swearing. The views were amazing the entire time and as always, great company | #mycrookedpath #trailrunning #howmanypeaksdidwebag

Plan was 22 miler on a route I dubbed Top Gun due

Plan was 22 miler on a route I dubbed Top Gun due to Maverick Ridge, Cougar Mt, and a Goose Creek which included parts of the #Plain100K. Best laid plans eh? I vastly underestimated the amount of snow still lingering on the route - Iceman was an ass. We had maybe 40% of the trail not under snow and maybe half of that was actually runnable. Probably our slowest run to date 🤦🏻‍♂️. This was more of an off-trail adventure than a trail run and I loved hated every minute of it 😆
Started off with a nice run along the Mad River trail, missed our turn and had to backtrack a bit. Then my wingman and I climbed up Maverick Ridge and enjoyed an ass kicker with some sweet views into the Chiwawa Valley and Lake Wenatchee. At the Lost Lake intersection we hit a swamp and then we got our first large section of trail hiding snow. With liberal use of map and gps, we basically pointed in the general direction of the route and ran/slipped down the snow (oh, who didn’t bring spikes or poles?) Finally picked up the trail at Blue Creek Meadow - gorgeous open area with an unavoidable creek crossing. With newly soaked shoes, we were able to jog a bit until the next junction. Hit snow again and practiced our route finding up thru Cougar Meadow and then to the ridge line. Such. Slow. Going!

Cougar Mountain was a beautiful climb. The sun came out and there were only small patches of snow. Was accosted by a VERY aggressive grouse hen as she protected her well hidden chicks. View was awesome at the top and since it had taken soooooo long to get only 12 miles, we decided to take a shorter route back.
HA!!! The Jimmy Creek Trail starts off as a faint downhill path and turns into a single rut before disappearing completely beneath the snow again. More route finding. More post holing. More snow.
Class A Adventure Run with very little running. A+++ would not-run again. 😆 (Danger Zone!) | #mycrookedpath #trailrunning #runventure #whereweregoingwedontneedtrails
