She has a website, instagram feed, she's all over facebook... she may be a total badass, but she sure doesn't seem to be doing much about protecting her privacy!

In the past, she hasn’t posted your current location in real time.
That’s what I meant about privacy.
I only have access to Instagram.

Recent photo, this week, of the mid Point sign on the AT on Instagram. 1,000+ miles in the 4th week of April.

Does the Lemmon Squeezer ring a bell? Anish is north of there.

2 months. Over 1600 miles on the AT.
Vicinity of Glastonbury Mountain. She’s moving to another trail.

Unconfirmed report of her bailing on the AT and moving to the CDT. Would make sense given the low snow in SW Colorado.

Photos yesterday from the VT-NH state line on a bridge. Saying good bye to the AT until later.
Go Anish!

After reading Jennifer Pharr Davis' new book, "The Pursuit of Endurance," I have new respect for Anish and wish her well.

[Venchka]

Both ladies get my respect!

Sounds familiar.
That's what Flyin Brian did too.
Came back to finish his NOBO AT at the end

I was passed (like I was standing still ) by her BF/"support crew" Pistachio at the northernmost hiker register of the Mid State Trail (MST) last week: Anish got to NH way too early in the season and so headed west to the CDT; she'll be back to finish NH and ME later. Pistachio was just finishing up a 9-day(!) thru-hike of the MST and is planning to join up with her next week.

1748 miles of the AT in 2 months. Holy crap, this lady is incredible

Would have liked to see her complete a trail and deal with the humps from doing that before moving on to the next, but I guess that's her call.

That would be hard to do if she'd gotten stuck in Maine waiting on Katahdin to open.

[Malto]

That would be hard to do if she'd gotten stuck in Maine waiting on Katahdin to open.

Or she does what others have done and hike it anyway.

[CalebJ]

Probably a better outcome that she didn't go that route.

[robby]

thanks for sharing

[Feral Bill]

Probably a better outcome that she didn't go that route.

Yes. She knows her business, and that would badly hurt her reputation.

Heather finished the PCT sometime in the last week according to a typical Instagram post and photos.

Wow.

More wow.

Wow.

[Venchka]

Hopefully she is flying SOBO on the CDT as I type.
Go ANISH!
