Pictures from the Three Peaks Adventure Run

Third annual Three Peaks Adventure Run

Sunrise from the top of Mt Eddie at 9,000ft with my good friend Tina Ure (This was all her idea) looking back over the Three peaks course. Peak#1 was Mt Shasta at 14,000ft which we summited at noon the day before in 50 mph winds. Then ran to Black Butte the little rock pile you can see trapped in fog inbetween was Peak #2 and last but not least a gruling climb to Mt. Eddie to catch the sunrise

The third annual Three Peaks Adventure Run

Arrived here in Mt Shasta last night after enduring a 12hr motorcycle ride. And despite the cup of coffee and two red bulls I had no problem sleeping last night. Today Tina and I will be busy picking up climbing permits, placing drop bags and getting ready for tomorrows big run. Joining us this year is Mark Swanson from Redding Ca. I'll try and post some pre run pictures before the run. Here's a quick idea of what were about to do. At 5am we'll start climbing Mt Shasta. We'll reach the summit at 14,000ft around noon glacade back down to the car, drop off our climbing gear and run to Black Butte. Do an out and back to to the top then head to Tina's house for refueling. Around 10pm we'll leave Tina's house and continue on to reach the summit of Mt Eddie around 3am. Then head down to the PCT trail and follow it to the car which will be our finish line. Total distance of around 50 miles with 15,000ft of elevation gain in roughly 27hrs. Can't wait for the fun to begin.
