Man Hikes to the International Space Station
Well, sort of. 1.3 million vertical feet in a year, apparently all on the Incline and Barr Trail. Wow.

Re: Man Hikes to the International Space Station
1.3 million feet/7,500 feet on Barr Trail = 174 times in a year. Not my cup of tea, but hey, heck of an accomplishment.

Re: Man Hikes to the International Space Station
530 times up the incline, 34 times up the Barr Trail. Even more tedious, IMO.Floyd wrote:1.3 million feet/7,500 feet on Barr Trail = 174 times in a year. Not my cup of tea, but hey, heck of an accomplishment.
