Second peak of the Castle Peak 100K. After crossing I80 we ran through Soda Springs and began navigating up to the ridgetops above the Ice Lakes. First we would pass the Overload Aid Station and then a long steep climb up near Rowton Peak. I would have veered off course to bag that one, but with 55 miles on the legs and the elevation getting to me, I thought it best to keep moving towards the finish. Once up on the ridge, we had an epic traverse over to Crow's Nest. Relatively level terrain made for fast running, before perhaps a couple hundred meters of climb to the summit.
