Day 50: (Sat) 0900 Monarch summit (partly cloudy)

9 am. LIVE from Monarch Summit 11,312 feet! Although there was serious climbing, because I started at Maysville this morning, it was very manageable. It is nicely graded about 3% from Salida increasing to about 6% from Maysville to the summit. Traffic was very light early in the morning, increasing to moderate later. Not much view here; there is a tram (ski lift - $7) up the mountain but I won't take it. The weather partly cloudy and I've already been up to Pike's Peak.
