Many photos & daily itinerary on the Strava activities.

Ian had company for at least the last 2 days.

Ian stopped his time at the top of Ester, which was 7d8h13m.  He requested we add 3h to account for the time to reach the TH from Ester, though this is an approximation.

Hi, Ian.  Congrats on your 2018 thru-hike of the ADK-46!  I've been studying your route in prep for trying a thru-hike of my own (tho not any record setting attempt).

I couldn't find verification data for your ascents of Big Slide, Porter, nor Cascade.  Did you do those on day 7 after Giant and before stopping at the base of Cascade?  (I saw that your GPS record ends under Giant at 9:23 am on day 7 and doesn't start again until after 5am on day 8 at the base of Cascade).  On what trail/route(s) did you do Big Slide, Porter, and Cascade?  (do you have Strava data for the remainder of day 7?)
