Fastpacking the Crest

Post by sirena »

Here's quite a story:

Beginning June 8 last year, Adam Bradley and Scott Williamson walked 2,665 miles from Mexico to Canada over some of the West’s most rugged territory in 65 days 9 hours 58 minutes and 47 seconds.

This is the trailer for the upcoming documentary: http://www.krudmeister.blogspot.com/201 ... crest.html

Hmmm, I wouldn't say it's the most rugged territory when you can manage 40 miles per day, sounds like the trails must be in far better shape than most of AZ!

Exactly...40 miles a day every day for 65 days straight? In the mountains of the PCT? :worthy: Hardly even seems physically possible!!
