A 5-hour OD takes you pretty far and it’s a great workout. If it takes you up Black Tusk it’s even better!

Black Tusk is one of the most epic hikes in the area. The sharp peak is rising 2319 meters above sea level and the view is amazing. It’s a popular route for tourists to hike up to the meadows below the peak and yesterday the CVTC-team went for an over distance run in the area. Starting at an elevation of 600 meters half of the team went up and down the same way while the older guys did a point-to-point loop.

The weather has been amazing this summer but the fall comes rolling in and because of some clouds, freezing point at 1600 m of elevation and quit a bit of new snow (!). No one was able to climb the last pitch to the top. But still everyone ended around 5 hours.
