Whiteface Vertical Kilometer

The domestic and international Sky Race series, often contest what they call a Vertical Kilometer. I did this gut and lung busting event maybe 3-4 years ago on Whiteface, and one of these days I would like to do the event at Squaw when I am out climbing in the Sierras.

Yesterday morning Stash and I hiked up the lower half of the course for some exercise ... great views ... but steep climbing. I won't be absorbing the views during the race, that's for sure!
