Just another routine solo hike up Horsetooth Rock, 7255' west of Fort Collins, CO -- except, I'd been 12 days off the second Foley catheter, healing up, looking for some badly needed exercise! And I hadn't been up the Rock in over 2.5 years (although into HT Mtn Open Space last April). And I managed a longer route too, via HT Falls; about 7 mi in 5:50 including over an hour on top, about 1600' total gain. Not bad for a lovely day with temps 45-50.
