The full Tenmile traverse is an asskicker
Completed Royal to Peak 10 in about 13.5hrs. Could probably shave ~2hrs off next time. I thought the day would be tough physically but the mental aspect toward the end was unexpected. North to South including Royal Mtn, by the time I saw the saddle between Peaks 8 and 9 and then the true MF'er of a face on Peak 10, my humanity and my soul left my body. Happy to complete it on a day with fantastic weather, next time will be faster.

Eightmile Traverse?
Made it to Peak 4 in 4.5 hours. Peak 8 in 7:55. Bailed at Peak 8 due to weather. Boo for afternoon thunderstorms!
9/19/10: "Only" went as far as Peak 8 seeing as I had already done peaks 9 and 10 previously. Great warm late summer/early fall day, perfect time for a long ridge run! Took the bus back to Frisco from Breckenridge as I was solo and had no car shuttle.
10/17/15: Second time, this time just 1 through 5 and back to town on the Miners Creek and Peaks trails as again I was solo with no car shuttle. This is a good alternative to the full route if you don't have a shuttle, or just want to hit the best scrambling (Tenmile to 4) without the full traverse.

Long, Rewarding Day
I'd had my eyes on Peak 1 for some time, so this traverse seemed like a good way to bag it and a lot of other peaks all on one crazy day! Great company on a great climb!
