9.26.18....Harlan Stockman led me on my first ascent of Macks Peak today. It was an amazing thrill ride all packed into 3.7 miles and 1,800’ vert gain. We jammed up the class 1+ hill at a fast and slightly cruel “Harlan” pace which provided a great strong workout for me. The final climbing was up a ramp filled with loose rock and then turned around the corner from hell with more loose rock next to a lot of exposure. I was terrified inside and just white knuckled any solid limestone rocks next to me. Harlan stayed close by with protection and guidance as he always does. I was so happy to get to the top, I gave the summit a big giant HUG! By doing this peak I completed a LV 15-10K Peak Challenge.
