Looks like Michael Priddy decided not to go up Huron and descended down to Winfield, and hasn't moved since 5:30 am. I can't tell if he is done or if he's catching up on some sleep.

Wow, Incredible! The extra miles were just a warm up.

Re: Holy Nolans!!!!!! attempt....
He's afraid of mountains and, after clawing his way up Missouri alone and in the dark, was looking forward to the company of a pacer over Huron. Unfortunately, the rendezvous failed and he decided to walk to Winfield to meet his crew and get a few hours of good sleep with the possibility of restarting at Clohesy Lake this morning. Sadly, this rendezvous also failed and he spent the night in an emergency bivy.CreekRunner wrote:Looks like Michael Priddy decided not to go up Huron and descended down to Winfield, and hasn't moved since 5:30 am.

He will likely just do the Turquoise Lake -> Holy Cross section tomorrow since he's still healthy and Holy Cross is still there.

Re: Holy Nolans!!!!!! attempt....
For a guy who's afraid of mtns you sure climb a lot of them. Good effort Mike! Was "fun" (in a type 3 sort of way) the other evening on Princeton.Priddy wrote:He's afraid of mountains and...

Re: Holy Nolans!!!!!! attempt....
I'm in awe...I can't even imagine possessing the stamina and mental and physical fortitude to accomplish what he did! I think it will be a long time before anyone else goes sub 72 hours on the Sawatch 15, let alone Holy Nolans.
A few fan boy questions for Andrew if he is reading this (assuming he's woken up from his well deserved sleep).
1. Seeing as you were only 3 mins off your S-N time, does this prove you are a "one-speed guy"
2. Which do you feel was the biggest accomplishment. This amazing Holy Nolans supported run or the 2015 unsupported record run?
3. Without giving away too many trade secrets, do you think there were any places on the Nolans route where you could have made up some time? I see you opted for the more standard route up Antero, were you originally planning a more direct ascent?
