Today begins our assault on Uncompahgre Peak, from 11,363 feet to 14,306 feet. Not only is the altitude rare, but the miles are long (10.04 miles) and the gain/loss is also high (+/- 2,943 feet).
The last 10 mile hike I did took 7 hours, had a starting altitude of 1,400 feet to the Flume and Liberty Summits (4,459 feet) for a gain/loss of +/- 3,059 feet and took 3 days to recover from. Of course, I didn't have cake on that hike, but some nuts and berries only. This will be different.
