South from Stemple
A photo by friend Swi on the Continental Divide Trail south from Stemple Pass southeast of Lincoln. We went up there to check the water cache for through hikers (left 15 or 16 gallons for them), then went up the CDT the other way to the high ridges between Stemple and the Granite Butte Lookout. It's a steep bugger, I figure something over 900 feet of elevation gain in two pieces totaling about 1.5 miles. I was sucking wind bad at the top of each big up, one about 500 and the other 400.
It was a warm day, exacerbated by the fairly extreme aerobic work.
This is Swi chugging up the first major steep stretch, just off the pass.
Here's Bert catching his breath near the top. Fun and strenuous run.
