A sub five hour Skyline for Craig :-)

Howdy All :)

Breaking news -- the Craigmeister aka Oh Four did Skyline in 4:53 this morning 8) Got to tram bar just as it opened to celebrate and had lunch at Las Casuelas. Air temp was not warm but it was humid without any wind -- we were really sweating. We preferred the temperature when we did C2C two weeks ago.

Congratulations Craig :D

Miles of smiles,
Ellen

Congrats guys! How were the conditions from 7000' and up? Leaving tomorrow around 7am, hoping to break my personal 5 hour 10 min. record.

Howdy Patrick :)

You'll pass plenty of people on the trail. We put microspikes on at 7.4 K. That section is icy and the spikes gave us great traction. Best wishes on a sub-5 tomorrow 8)

Monstermeister! Great job Craig!

I know, I know, a lot of people say it's irrelevant how fast you go. You know what I say? I say they're only saying that because they're not as fast as Craig!

JK. It's a lot of fun to play with times, especially when you're out suffering in the wilderness for no particular reason...

Patrick, how did it go?
