I completed the Crown of Polish Mountains in a new record time of 2 days, 11 hours and 8 minutes. I started on 23 June at 7:45 AM from Rozdroże Izerskie, ascending Wysoka Kopa as my first peak, and finished on 25 June at 6:53 PM by summiting Rysy as the final peak.
I climbed all 28 peaks of the Crown of Polish Mountains solo and unaided on the mountains themselves — every ascent was done on foot, on my own, with no pacers and no support on the trails. (Note on the GPS data: there are 27 GPS tracks rather than 28, because Kowadło and Rudawiec were climbed together in a single outing).
The format was supported: between the mountain ranges I traveled by car, driven by my friend Damian, nicknamed "Dziki." This allowed me to move efficiently between the widely scattered massifs of the Crown. My only sleep during the entire attempt came during these car transfers, while being driven to the start of the next ascent — I did not sleep at any other point.
Linking all 28 summits in this time required continuous movement, minimal rest, and careful logistics to chain the climbs back-to-back across the country. To make this possible, several peaks were not climbed as simple out-and-back routes — instead, I ascended from one trailhead and descended to a different one, where Damian was already waiting with the car.
