Mt. Wrightson Ascent - 9/07/25 - 5.2 miles to the top
Thanks to all who were able to make it out today for the Mt. Wrightson Ascent! We had 28 runners in all and two pooches, including Potato (8 miles) and Bode (full ascent). Some highlights from the run include two separate bear sightings, one just above Josephine Saddle by the early crew, and another on the upper Stretch of Super Trail near Baldy Saddle. There were also several deer, a coati, and a bunch of wildflowers and butterflies. Five runners came back with stories to tell of minor crashes and falls, but all in good spirits. Remmy Pursely, age 10, gets the award for most amazing effort; she's run Mt. Wrightson now two times. There were also two reports of Grumpy Men pleasantries being exchanged.
