Route: South Beyond 6000 (NC, TN)

The "South Beyond 6000" (SB6K) is a program of the Carolina Mountain Club and the Tennessee Eastman Hiking & Canoeing Club "to encourage hikers to climb the 40 peaks over 6000 feet in the Southern Appalachians" of North Carolina and Tennessee. Speed records have been established by linking all the peaks on foot. This requires summitting 40 peaks, 15 of which are unmarked and untrailed, and connecting the peaks on foot, which adds up to roughly 260 miles of trekking.
