Mark Belles slicing through the big log drop on Evil Twin.

Rode Galbraith with Mark on the day the seasons seemed to have changed. We found a blown out blue umbrella in a puddle at the bottom of Darrell's Death Climb, and a slime factor of at least 10 all over the mountain.

Explored some more on Evil Twin, Banjoland and some of the south side trails for GalbraithMt.com Map #3.

Approximately 2000 verts.

This is an excerpt from Vert Quest, which chronicles The Man Known As Mongo's pursuit of the World Record for climbing on a mountain bike, 404,000 vertical feet, or the vertical equivalent of 13 sea-level-to-summit ascents of Mt. Everest during a 12 month period.
