Rolled out at 6am for what was supposed to be my 16th Mission Peak summit of the year. Hit the fog early, but once I climbed above the cloud line—boom: I was greeted by a golden sunrise and clear skies. Knocked out summit #16 of the year… or so I thought. About two-thirds of the way down, I ran into a couple of friends heading up, and, well—I couldn’t not join them, right? So back up I went for round two(ish).

Final stats: 10.2 miles, a little over 3,200 ft of gain, and 3h45m of Type-2 fun. Logging it as #16 and 16⅔ because I didn’t quite summit the second time… but my legs sure think I did.
