Episode 153: Let's hear this again: UTMB champ Courtney Dauwalter talks about her FKT attempt on the Colorado Trail

Category
Person-Person

It's a great time to re-air our 2020 interview with Courtney Dauwalter who - only 1 week ago - won her second consecutive Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc title, setting a new women's course record in the process. On top of all that she was the 7th finisher overall.

During 2020 when UTMB was canceled, Courtney turned her attention to setting an FKT on the Colorado Trail, going from Durango to Denver. In this interview she discusses why the attempt was eventually stopped and much more. This is our most popular episode of all time and for good reason!

Description

Loop route
Submitted by Andre-Paul Michaud in September 2021. This is a circumnavigation of the entire Meadow Creek drainage outside Eagle River, Alaska. Start at Mile High trailhead. Summit Mt. Magnificent then take the long ridgeline to Mt. Significant (Route highpoint at 5446 feet) then backtrack to Mile High ridge and summit Vista, Roundtop and Black Tails Rocks. Cross-country traverse back to start on alpine tundra, crossing Meadow Creek. This route has great ridge hiking with minimal scrambling, and all named major peaks are summitted in the loop.
