I'm positive that the FKT listed here isn't actual the "fastest known time". There are Strava segments for both directions on the ATT that list many faster attempts: https://www.strava.com/segments/14770558 and https://www.strava.com/segments/22499066.

Thanks for the heads up, Jon. I wasn't aware there was a Strava segment, but given there isnt any info on any of those attempts being completed in a true unsupported style, I think my submission is warranted.
