Re: Andrew Hamilton - Nolans Unsupported 2015 attempt
I just looked at Andrew's data on his climb of Bull Hill from 10284' to his current data point at 13089', which took 2 hours. That's ~1400'/hour after ~45 hours of Nolaning. Jezus...
Check that, he just crossed the top of Bull Hill and is at ~13,600. So he averaged ~1350'/hr. Check my math but isn't he on pace for <55 hours?

I didn't see it mentioned but I assume this is an unsupported attempt again?
I'm just pretending to be a poseur.

He was 5:02 ahead of last year on La Plata. WHAT?!! Also people asking about his battery life for tracker. He's got his battery charger with him, so he can charge along the way.

I think the 15 was a typo, 13 down in just under 48hours, amazing consistency.
He's got just about 7hours to get to Fish Hatchery to hit the FKT which is amazing considering the unsupported nature. It's definitely doable, but he's gotta hustle.

Yes, it was an intentional typo to keep from using that unlucky number...thebeave7 wrote:I think the 15 was a typo, 13 down in just under 48hours, amazing consistency.

Maybe I should have opted for "Baker's Dozen"?
