US Individual Champs 2009: Green X Day 1 US Champs
Charlie
| 1. | Trail to even with top of hill then across knoll to depression | ||||||
| 2. | A bit of wandering - S on road and then down steep path through green to NE edge of big yellow depression, then more or less on compass and out of contact until NS ridge line S of big depressions. Climbed ridge to S and attacked from bend in ridge E along side of depression | ||||||
| 3. | Up to ridge and along ridges checking off small knolls etc until got on knoll with black X SW of control and straight in | ||||||
| 4. | Straight, keeping hill on my right. | ||||||
| 5. | Tried to use ridges and knolls, but made a parallel error and ended up by #10. Easy from there. | ||||||
| 6. | Up and over. No problem | ||||||
| 7. | Across spur and left of depression before trail. Over knoll to the south then count the bumps on the way in. | ||||||
| 8. | Drifted a bit S and hit spur with knoll and black X, then along knolls from there, including long knoll with 3 bumps right before control. Unmistakable. | ||||||
| 9. | R of knoll with black x and depression behind it, then could see the knoll in front from a distance | ||||||
| 10. | Been here before, so a little confidence. Checking off knolls right of line, then in through depressions. Accosted here by a european guy who demanded to know where we were. Later found out he had also accosted PG, Tim Parson and Ethan Childs. | ||||||
| 11. | More or less NW, figuring I would bounce off big ridge, and I did. Up to the top and along the trail, then tried to cut the corner, but it was slow and I saw Walter S zooming by on the trail. Still I had a better line and got there right behind him. | ||||||
| 12. | Couldn't run with Walter on slippery sidehill, but navigation is easy | ||||||
| 13. | To road and to trail | ||||||
