Hiking 1:52:08 [2] 4.39 km (25:33 / km) +659m 14:35 / km
shoes: inov8 Mudclaw 275 Black
On Grouse, from Malaspina up Larsen, over to The Cut and down McKay. Crumbly ice from ~700m and proper snow from ~900m. Had plenty of grip so didn't need to put on my microspikes.
Larsen and McKay are definitely my favourite trails on Grouse as they're so quiet. Very steep though. My knees didn't seem to suffer too badly on the descent fortunately.

Setting controls for Darkside in LSCR. Control #10 was on a 1950's car, and I somehow managed to run into it... I now have a nice big gash on the front of my thigh. Fortunately none of the competitors made the same mistake.
Everyone seemed to enjoy the course. I was concerned that it was too long, but 4/15 people managed to finish it in the 90 minute time limit. So about right for a "hard" darkside course. Adam smashed it in 57 minutes.
