HIGA MONSTER summits Mt Crested Butte, Colorado

HIGA on top of the 12,162 feet summit.

This is the mountain we climbed.  I took this pic from 8,800 ft elevation.

Saw a lot of these Alpine Chipmunks near the top of the mountain.

Almost to the summit!  That's my brother in laws & niece on the right.

All done!  My Bulky Boy socks pulled me through!

My family and I hiked up Crested Butte this past Saturday in Colorado.
We took at 15 minute chair ride to the 11,400 feet level of this mountain.

Then we hiked up the Summit Trail which goes up through steep terrain.  Then the trail gets steeper and crosses loose & broken rock.
It took almost 2.5 hours to climb up.  My 8 year old daughter & 10 year old niece also were Animals and made the 12,162 feet summit with me!
Then it took us 1 hour 13 mins to climb back down to the chair lift.

HIGA MONSTER visits Brian Shaw in Colorado


I was able to visit Brian Shaw's new strongman training facility today!

Brian Shaw and Mike Burke.  2 pros from Colorado.

Mike Burke and HIGA.  Man, these guys always make me look small!

WOW...that is a Bulky Boy stone.

Check out this awesome Snakeskin lifting belt that Shaw owns!  Crazy!
I felt like the "Nature Boy" Ric Flair.

A big "mahalo" to Brian Shaw for letting me get a workout today at his facility!

"Run, Vulcan...RUN!" winners are announced!

Congratulations to Todd Haberly for winning my July gym challenge!
Todd ran the outdoor 1/2 mile course in a time of 3:04.7 minutes!

Maggie Goedecke was also the women's winner with a time of 4:05.8 minutes.

A big congratulations to all who participated!  We had a total of 46 participants including yours truly, the HIGA MONSTER.  I am a horrible runner but clocked a time of 5:08 minutes.

This outdoor race was a unique challenge because we had to run around bus & train commuters, intoxicated individuals from a nearby tavern, and elderly people holding bags of groceries in their hands from Uwajimaya.  Lol

Todd and Maggie have won a "Shut up and train" t-shirt from me and Animal Pak.  Congrats again!
