It was a good test of using my Salomon Speedcross 3 running shoes. Like many parts of the country there had been a covering of snow from the night before and it was snowing too.
The running shoes gave excellent grip in the snow running downhill, on the flat and uphill. (I'm inclined to take my Yaktax Pros with me next time if there is still snow on the top as it will have no doubt turned to frozen icy snow with the current cold spell).
In the below video you can see how the snow deepened with the ascent. The winds had blown the snow to form a snow drift along one on the walls near the top.
I was happy to get to the top under an hour given the conditions under foot and after having 2 months off any proper cardio.
So the benchmark to beat for 2013 is 58 minutes 13 seconds.
