I hiked up and met Andrew at the top of the Avalanche switchbacks. What a nice guy! Looked really good this far in. The crew at the TH were quite nice, too. Lovely to meet you all.
I want to know what is in his playlist!

I am glued to this! He's at Baldwin Gulch TH now. By my rough calculations Andrew is well within reach of Holy Nolan's in under 72 hours. He has 9:20 hours to reach Blank Cabin Th from Baldwin Gulch by 7:50 am.

If he does that then he will also set a new fkt southbound. If he can do it in 8:44 hours and arrive at Blank Cabin by 7:14 am he will beat his overall fkt.

:shock:

Left Baldwin Gulch at about 1030. He came in and we had a super quick transition as he wanted to get out by the latest 11 PM. He needs to be done by 749 tomorrow morning to make A 72 hour Holy Nolan's. He has no voice! But he is holding up! He can't wait to be done! Thanks for all your support!

Awesome!
Fascism, xenophobia, racism, and ignorance are not inevitable—they are choices. And so are compassion, understanding, and justice. Educate yourself and choose better.
