Had the whole rock to myself. I didn't see another climber until I was on the last few feet of the decent.
 
Here's a shot of An Teallach, in the Scottish Highlands, taken 10 days ago from a nearby group called the Fannaichs.

I've never climbed An Teallach but passed by many times on my way to A'Mhaighdean. An amazing area.

I only saw one other climber on the rock today. He was rappelling off of the summit block as I was starting this final pitch. Pretty sure that he never saw me.
 
Getting things together for a Grand Canyon Rim2Rim2Rim hike in December with my son and a couple of his friends. I’ve done a few mountain bike activities in the last 3 years that I thought I would never do. This activity has the same feel 2 1/2 months out.

Ok, serious question. I've been hiking all my life. My longest was the AT, from the southern Virginia border to the southern NY border. Outside of the broadest terms (a few hours, a little less than a week on the AT), I've never timed myself. I didn't even know it was a thing. Of course, there's no real climbing mountains around here.

The times in the mountain climbing, is that competitive? Or just personal pride? Is that a biker wave for mountaineers? I've never seen that before.

The times in the mountain climbing, is that competitive? Or just personal pride? Is that a biker wave for mountaineers? I've never seen that before.
Hi @RookieGuy. The times posted in my log are for Mt. Sanitas. It is a very popular hiking trail ~1333' elevation over 1.2 miles . I was timing myself on that particular hike as a fitness baseline. My thoughts were that hiking fast up a steep hill would signal my body to lose weight. The hike is just a mile or so from the courthouse in Boulder and with such easy access a lot of the local athletes use it for training. The record assent is 14 minutes and change, so getting my old fat *** up it in 45 minutes is nothing but a personal achievement. IIRC my best time was 35 minutes a few years ago and I thought that sub 30 was achievable, but every year since I've gotten slower.:sob:

There are several ultra marathon type records set on the mountain that are truly astounding. Up the South Ridge and down the East Ridge makes a 3.3 mile loop, and that is the standard loop for time and distance records. Fastest loop time is 24 minutes and 23 seconds. The 24 hour record is 24 laps in 23 hours and 18 minutes. The same guy realized that just 6 more laps would make 100 miles. On a separate occasion he did 100 miles on Sanitas with 30 laps and a total elevation gain of 40,000' in 45 hours and 5 minutes!

People do have records on the Second and Third Flatirons and of course there are speed records on El Capitan and Half Dome, but in general it is very rare to see people trying for speed on these rocks.
 
Thank you, Bluesman 7. I wasn't sure. I think I'll happily let the speed deamons pass me. I'll keep going for smiles per hour.

But do not for one second think I'm not happy for your achievements! Like on my motorcycle, while I'm not motivated by straight speed, I can certainly recognize that kind of achievement being the direct result of God knows how much hard work and training it took. My hat's off to you for that. For doing something that I flat out know I can't.

And I'm gathering from context that scrambling refers to a fast traversing up some significant change in elevation?
