Fastest  Known Times (FKT's) for Greyrock Mountain

    Note the name -- Greyrock Mountain. A mountain is a landform which rises at least 2000 vertical feet above its surroundings. From its base at the Cache la Poudre River, Greyrock rises 2055 feet, making this a true mountain run. This is a very technical trail (subjectively rated an 8 out of 10 on my rating scale), with lots of gnarly rocky stretches and even some Class 3 scrambling right before the summit. The descent can be very fast, but dangerous. Some of the people listed below have blown out ankles on this descent.

Top elevation:     7613 feet        Base elevation:    5558 feet        Total vertical gain: ~2140 feet        Total distance:    ~6.6 miles

Start:    At the interpretive sign on the far (north) side of the river. At the junction at 0.6 miles, take the trail on the right (Greyrock Trail) -- this is the shortest way.

Middle:     Must go to the highest point of the summit (don't stop at the lake or base of the rocks). If other hikers are at the summit, circle the summit or add an appropriate time penalty.

End:     Same as start

NOTE: overall FKT times are trailhead-to-trailhead times and DO include time spent at the summit.
