Harrop to the South Ridge Trail.

I headed out for a quick push from Harrop up toward the South Ridge, keeping it sharp and efficient.
The climb hit hard and fast, proving once again that the shortest line to the summit is always the steepest.
I held an average cadence of 56 and kept my effort steady through the tight bends.
I covered just over five kilometres with nearly two hundred metres of climbing.
By the time I wrapped it up, the whole thing had become a compact, punchy fifty-one-minute burner.
