Yaaaasss! Justin James-Long! Dude, again such a stellar effort!

Thanks Jason!! :) 👊🏻

I see this is listed as the "standard route." Have people tried bagging the 5 peaks for speed using alternative routes? I feel like there are more direct routes to climb all 5, I'd be curious to give a more direct route a go!

No.. FKT doesn’t know the standard route.. The standard route most ppl do is from North to South. Or other direction South to North. I devised a New route with Mitch Thompson that is less time consuming & easier more efficient. But there is no easy way when U climb all 5 in a day. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.registerguard.com/entertainmentlife/20200111/cafe-541-five-peaks-one-day%3ftemplate=ampart

Note to admin: it seems this should be considered "open course" instead of "standard route"

As long as you start on cascade lakes Hwy or pole creek TH & finish on one or the other it’s an Open Course. Plus tag every top point of those summit peaks or it’s not considered a summit. 🏔🏔🏔🏔🗻
