Congrats Kristian! An incredible effort!
I think we learned from this attempt that anyone who wants to take the record is going to need a solid lead going into the Whites. Karel Sabbe absolutely crushed it in NH and ME.
It's all good in the woods.
Congrats Kristian!
A spectacular effort, something to be proud of.

People night hike Katahdin almost every day when the weather's nice. During a full moon, clear skies, or a meteor shower there can be dozens of folks up top. No rule against it.
