FKT: Lisa Cahill - Cradle Mountain Sea to Summit - 2024-12-20

This was so much fun!  Started a bit after 5am as the day was breaking - started with 2.5 litres of water - first water refill was at 35k at Wilmot general store, along with a lovely clean toilet!  It is 72km of road before you enter national park, there is a shoulder the whole way.  Refilled water again at the visitors centre (72k mark). The final 1k to the summit is insane rock scrambling, so this wouldn't suit everyone - took me about 1.5 hours on that final 1k ascent.  Had my mate Ben with me from around the 68k mark which was great - it would be dangerous to summit alone (in my opinion), as the weather can change so quickly, and you really are pulling your full body weight up many of the boulders,
