Hey Folks,
This past Saturday (8/13) while waiting for Hikerbob to appear on Garfield, an ultra-marathoner I know (Tompar) was resting on the summit of Garfield. Come to find out he was attempting another Pemi - Loop Traverse... his 3rd this year and 2nd since our 4th fo July scamper.
At the days end he told me of a gentleman from out west who completed the loop in a NEW record time of 7h 14min. I am not sure of his name yet, but when I get the specs.. I'll be sure to post them wherever I am capable of doing so. I DO KNOW that his route was COUNTER-clockwise.
The old record (unofficial) was set by Kevin Tilton with a time just over 8 hours.
