He skipped a couple of years, but I know that he did something in the upper thirties and also in the lower forties.<BR/><BR/>So, as I understand it, it was 42 miles on the bike, 42 pitches at the bayards, run to millbrook, 42 pitches, run to nears, 42 pitches, run to trapps, 42 pitches, run to skytop, 42 pitches, run to bonticu, ..., and then to lost city.<BR/><BR/>I heard--but haven't actually asked him (wondering why, i will this week or next)--that he did about 48 miles of running and 290 or so pitches.<BR/><BR/>Here's the kicker: have you seen his rack? We're talking 3 aliens, four nuts and some grundge...<BR/><BR/>But, I guess if you're ready to lead 290 pitches of 5.10 in a day, well, who knows what gear you really need. (oh yeah, rich apparently didn't count any non 5.10!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
