Brief report:
After climbing Lassen Peak on Saturday 5/29/04 as a warm-up, I climbed Casaval Ridge solo in a day. I guess I was dragging ass because it took me 10 hrs to summit. I left Bunny Flat at 2:30am and made the summit around 12:30pm. Stayed there for 40 minutes just watching all the crowds. It was quite windy for most of the route. In fact, in the flat section just below Misery Hill, the wind almost knocked me off balance a few times. I left the summit at 1:10pm. Put my diaper trash bag around my butt just below the Red Banks and glissaded down to Lake Helen in like 20 minutes. It was a blast! Past Lake Helen, I continued glissading as much as I could. I got back to my car at Bunny Flat a few minutes past 3:30pm. Changed clothes and drove down into town to Lalo's for a mexican feast.
