Trip report: speed record and fastest known ascent of Point Six from my kitchen table.

On Saturday morning I set a new speed record for the ascent of Point Six using the route that starts from my kitchen table. Most people climb Point Six faster than me, but no one has ever done it faster starting from my kitchen.

Here are the splits:

Put down the coffee cup, make a Nutella sandwich, and get in the truck: 0:03
Get stuck at that damn light at Mount and Stephens, ponder how traffic circles would solve most traffic problems: 0:05
Exit freeway at Reserve Street: 0:09
Park at gate at Snowbowl: 0:24
Put on skis after walk through the mud and slush up the Bowl Runout: 0:44
Top of LaVelle: 2:21
Top of Point Six, stopping along the way to take three pictures: 2:46
