Description

I wanted to create a route that included the six major peaks that encompass the Kyle Canyon Cirque: Harris, Griffith, Charelston, Lee, Mummy, and Fletcher. I twice attempted a longer version of this route, and failed both times.

Lauren McCloud (Big Mac) suggested this route, and we were successful. We started with a gallon of water each, and did not filter, collect, or cache water, or receive support in any way. We were completely unsupported, and self contained on this route that we finished in under 12 hours.

Get after it! Awesome linkup and pretty low hanging FKT for anyone that actually trains for this type of stuff.

I'm seeing multiple trail and trailhead closures in this area--would anyone be able to comment on if this FKT is strict to this specific route, or simply needs to bag the listed peaks in the listed order? Thanks.
