Try Half Dome in Yosemite in a day. Makes Katahdin seem like a walk in the Park.

Personally..I just hike....Who cares how many miles in a day? I don't. I much prefer to take my time. To each his own. As far as someone telling someone "You're only 50."..well.....every one is entitled to his or her own opinion as to at what age they wish to or wish not to slow down. When did backpacking become a competition anyway? If you wanta race with others who wanta race go to the Olympics...If I had the time and the finances I'd take a thru hike leaving around November at Springer and hit Katadin around October. That would allow pleny of time for r and r and to do some blue blaze hiking to enjoy the scenery and sights instead of blowing past it all so I could say.."Hey..I hiked the AT in just blah, blah, blah and so and so took 4 days longer........Who cares? Many people are just too critical of other's hiking. I don't care if you do it in 2 months or 2 years... it's entirely up to the individuals. Why should any one else care?
Anyone doing a winter Ultra?? The Febapple Frozen Fifty is coming up -50M & 50K.
I'm running a 50k next weekend in Columbia, SC. www.carolinaultras.com
I'm glad he dug it up... I do wish this forum was more active.
Maybe my sticky was not obvious enough?
Long Ridge, this forum is not for debating if it is better to run a trail or not. Hell, your trail name has Runner in it..
I'm a dumb Guinea and I confuse easily..do you like running or not?
Re: Being Active
It is fairly active..but the threads to get moved from the general forum often.
