Today I was Frank’s Sherpa on our three peak/four hour trail run.  This meant I made food for Frank, coffee for Frank, carried the food and coffee for Frank, along with carrying Frank’s extra clothes, car keys, Cliff Bars, and his special good luck rocks.  Then to top it all off I had to wait for him near the top of each peak so he could summit first!

Anyway, I did get an awesome work out in and here are some pictures from the day at the office.

 Me near the summit of South Boulder Peak waiting for Frank who was still on the lower slopes.  If notice I am not on the summit I had to wait for Frank so he could summit first.

 There is Frank on the lower slopes of South Boulder Peak.

 From South Boulder Peak we made the short jaunt over to Bear Mountain…here is Frank on the summit of Bear mountain.

 Then from Bear Mountain we ran to Green Mountain.  Here Frank tried to see if he could drop his Sherpa after eating all the food and drinking all of the coffee.

 After 4hr 15min and three peaks summited we made it back to the trail head where we started. 

 Lastly, here is a picture of Longs Peak (14,255 ft) which is the site of tomorrow’s trail run.  I had better get to bed since I have to get up at 4:33 AM to make Frank some sandwiches before our 5:30 AM departure.
