FKT: Sarah Baker - Clingman's Dome, Appalachian Trail (NC, TN) - 2022-10-04

I started out from Newfound Gap at 10:41AM on the Appalachian Trail, southbound to Clingman’s Dome. I carried two 20oz flasks of water in my running vest and carried a backup Katadyn water filter if I needed extra water during the climb. I ended up not needing to refill water on the climb. I also carried and consumed 3 Spring Energy Gels-2 Koffee and 1 Awesome Sauce. It was extremely cold at the Dome and after touching the top of the tower I stopped my watch and ran down to Clingman’s Dome parking area where my Dad picked me up.
