Congrats on a great achievement! For your next challenge you should consider coming out east for a Hut Traverse. The traverse links all of the AMC huts in New Hampshire from Carter Notch to Lonesome Lake. 49 miles with 16k elevation gain. The current record is a shade under 10 hours!
Well done Jason, don't underplay the difficulty of the Fan, I have numerous friends (military & civilian) who have done it, none have said it was a cinch.
As one of your previous presidents said; It is not the critic who counts, etcetera etcetera.
Congrats to a strong achievement! I can appreciate the effort and the satisfaction afterwards. I did a 53 km ultrarun with 3200 meters of elevation gain a couple of weeks ago. It took me almost 11 hours to finish in rain, hailstorm and thunder. As you say the satisfaction comes first and foremost from setting a goal, prepare and train for it and then just do it. In a way you and James has a part in my transformation from couch potato to ultra runner. Back in 2015 TGN inspired me to get out and do things with my new SKX007. Eventually hiking led to trail running and here I am 9 years later, a happy, pretty fit 55 year old. Thank you and good luck in future endurance events.
It takes a certain type of individual to want to suffer pain in search of a goal not easily obtained by many. Proud that you are one such achiever, and my son. Dad
One concern, however... my gut clinched when I first saw photos of you in those cargo-like shorts. I'm not sure what or how much you carried in those thigh pockets, but the thing I most remember from decades ago learning the dos and do-nots of backpacking was to stay the HECK away from putting anything in thigh pockets of cargo shorts.
What a great story, thank you for sharing the experience! I made a point of reading it not quickly on the phone, but with a coffee and a decently sized screen, and I’m glad I did. Easily in my top three of your dispatches! 👌🫡

Thanks! I’ve done some hut to hut in the Whites. Was definitely a challenge!
You dared. You won for Jason. Well done, sir!

How did they work for you?
Congratulations Jason. Strong work.
Brilliant, mate!

Congrats! I hope you went all out with a celebratory dinner afterwards.
Well done laddie. Congrats and thank you for the detailed account. I could see you chugging along in my mind.
Nice work!
Fantastic account Jason, well done!
