Pretty cool stuff, go Andrew!
Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, but what is the FKT for a full Sawatch traverse? I didn't find it on the FKT site (driving across Kansas at the moment). It would seem that Andrew could get the Sawatch 14ers FKT regardless of whether he did the Nolans portion in sub-60 hours or not. I mean, I won't be surprised if he takes the Nolans SOBO FKT as well.
Holy Nolans!!!!!! attempt....

Assuming you connected Massive and HC on your thruhike, there's a good chance you hold the FKT.jdawud wrote:Pretty cool stuff, go Andrew!

Edit: I see you guys did not connect them, but if no one else has connected them all, it still might be you (with seven peaks in between).

Re: Holy Nolans!!!!!! attempt....
I don't think I'd consider ours a valid FKT for a 14ers of the Sawatch traverse since Holy Cross wasn't done in sequence. I'm happy with our FKT just as it is.psycholoco wrote:Assuming you connected Massive and HC on your thruhike, there's a good chance you hold the FKT.jdawud wrote:Pretty cool stuff, go Andrew!

Re: Holy Nolans!!!!!! attempt....
Love these threads! Can't wait for Gary and Jared to give the "normal" Nolans a try.

It looks like Jason turned back to Winfield after Huron. Bummer... Andrew is approaching the summit of Harvard.

Re: Holy Nolans!!!!!! attempt....
Hey guys. Just re supplied Andrew .. hiked in up Columbia/Harvard to meet him about 2.5 miles in. Gave him the convenient store options lol. He is feeling tired and sore, no major injuries had a nasty blister I got some nice gravel out of. He is doing great, his spirits are as good as you would expect! Next we will meet him at avalanche TH 2pm early 3pm more likely.

Re: Holy Nolans!!!!!! attempt....
Super cool! I see that he just passed through Avalanche TH. Has he had to deal with any snow fields? Do you know?asansone wrote:Hey guys.

Re: Holy Nolans!!!!!! attempt....
Andrew is the undisputed King of the CO 14ers, and he's crushing this thing, no question. When he started the Nolan's part of the 15 at 1AM I was like "What the hell???" Then I realized, oh, he's going for 72 hours for the 15. Well, now he's at the Avalanche TH with 4 peaks and about 16:30 left to make that a reality. Princeton (the next peak) is HUGE: 16 miles TH-to-TH. It took Mike & me 9:15 to do it in the other direction last evening. But, I think Andrew can do it! It will be close, but 72 hours for Nolan's plus Holy Cross... whoa.
Meanwhile, Mike is still plugging away & is descending Harvard - 7 peaks down. He's way slower than Andrew, but I don't think he has a particular time goal, other than constraints of his support crew. Since he's not interested in Nolan's he's not concerned about the 60 hour thing. Doing his route in even 96 hours is HUGE. He has a great team of friends supporting him, and I think he can do it!
Go Andrew!
Go Mike!
