Alan, what are the elevation specs on the trail? Does Rick Kent have a best time posted anywhere?
Rick ascended Iron in 2:37 on 11/10/07. Ze (from the San Gabriel board) hit the same mark on 1/9/10. Eric definitely had those times in mind. And he realizes that Rick is likely to pay another visit to Iron soon.
I do not know what the best time up Iron is. I recall Scott McKenzie mentioning some sub-3 hour times a few years back, but those messages are lost with Richart Piotrowski's old message board.
