I love that Cannon has its own FKT! It's steep and technical and well deserving of being raced. However, the route that Mike and Alton used involves the ski trails for a good chunk, which isn't allowed in either the summer or winter and shouldn't be treated as the standard. As far as I can tell, legitimate fastest known time for going up and down Cannon is 59:50 on 10/12/2016 by "Kale P" (there's a Strava segment for this route).

Does it matter how you get to the summit? And does this route include up and down or just up?

Sorry for the late reply. We only have the up and down route. Based on the Wills comment we approve the KRT but if you have open alternatives we may add those as variations.
