On 8-2-2020 Luke Mahoney and I ventured out to do the Sue Johnston version (Gorham Loop) of this FKT. What an incredible and hard loop it truely left me humbled as it was much harder than I originally expected. Having completed the Pemi loop countless times and the Hut traverse several times I was expecting something just a little harder than the Pemi. In my opinion it was much closer to a Hut Traverse. Definitely a loop worth putting on your bucket list if you like to be challenged.

We clocked 37.5 miles, with around 18,000 ft of elevation gain. 

As Sue stated above a bunch of hours (20h 49m).
