24 miles of hiking • 6250' elevation gain •
Skipped work with Brad and started at Herman Creek at 7am. Went up HC to near the Mud Lake jct, then bailed OT up the talus field to the flat saddle right below Tomlike's summit. Back across the saddle, postholing over to behind Chinidere, up and down Chinidere via the south spur ridge, and thence back via the PCT across the Platter. Sunny weather gave way to clouds right around the time the first raindrops fell at 6pm, but we stayed dry until getting back to the car before 6:45. Rain on the drive home; sun today.
Definitely beats going to work...
