I was taking a look at this route and see it was submitted but the FKT details aren’t posted. I assume based on the other FKTs of the submitter that this was an unsupported effort but just wanted to clarify.
I emailed in a similar question and was told the activity data submitted for the FKT is not official, so whatever you submit will be the FKT.
Also, just FYI I have some notes in the FKT listing about some issues with the GPS track for this route:
Personally, I think it would be worth revising the GPS file.
Hi, curious if the new updated trail is the one posted? I noticed bear rocks out & back is not there anymore. Can I be confident in the trail posted? Also, it is just a loop. Do we not start at the parkinglot? I assume the total distance of the updated trail will be less than your attempt
Thanks! Yeah it is easy to get off trail in some of those spots especially the west side where you are boulder hopping. I agree that it seems that starting at Red Creek makes more sense than Bear Rocks to avoid the out and back. Hopefully I can get out there sometime this summer!
