Good work! Was this time achieved going clockwise or counter clockwise? And is there somewhere I can find your trip report if there is one?

Glad this route is finally getting some action. It's well worth it. Just want to note that the 12000' total it overstating things. I think Sam got rather lost on his first attempt and may have included the "bonus vert" in the initial total. My watch put us right around 10600' and that seemed accurate and reasonable with virtually no navigation issues. Mods please update if you have the chance.Â
