Episode 166: Lazarus Lake: Who is he, and how did he change the sport of ultrarunning forever?

Category
Person-Person

Gary Cantrell, aka Lazarus Lake, (or is it the other way around?) could be the most creative person in the entire sport. That is a low bar, but possibly by accident he has single-handily changed ultrarunning forever.  The Barkley Marathons is an iconic, world-renowned event, and the subject of two films, even though only 40 people enter, there is no website, and the time and even the date of the race is secret.

Starting form the Sea, Follow the road for the first 10km to the Dam at Wadi Ghalilah.  From here there are markers for the trail head which takes you all the way to the flagpole and then left up towards the "highest zipline".

After a short decent along the side of the road, you will come to the army manned carpark and helipad where the trail runs left up to the UAE summit side.

Rainbow Cirque, Red Rocks NCA (NV)

Description

This route is excellent stacked upon excellent. It is a Red Rocks classic and run-scramblers dream, full of exposed 4th/5th class terrain, handlines, and route finding. (TL;DR: this is not a casual trail run.)

The Rainbow Cirque is a high-traverse around the grand amphitheater created by the Rainbow Massiff tagging 5 key peaks/sub-peaks (each with its own summit register). 

The peaks are as follows:

- Rainbow Peak 

- Rainbow Wall
