I've been trying to find updates on the attempt, but sounds like no tracking was intentional.

You'll have to translate:

Weather looked bad. Maybe they're in a holding pattern.

This amount of hype is kind of bonkers.

Francois' FB page said it's on as of yesterday (7/4) at 12pm (not sure what timezone).

Agree, hype, but at some point a high-profile athlete was going to make this attempt. I don't think it's Francois hyping, but he is obviously sponsored by Salomon, so there's that. My guess was that Courtney or Killian would have tried this, but that shows you just how much I know. :shock:

PS - I know Zach Miller has mentioned this as well. He's running Hardrock next week and I'll be rooting for him.

Mountain time zone possibly?? And guessing Jornet et al are looking at bigger challenges (says the guy who has been going after CO 14ers for 675 years to date)

Hyper Hype but no live tracking is weird.

Actually I think it's getting to be one of the last great challenges. What has Killian not done yet? K2?
