Yes, quite interesting! But if I had to choose a different user, I would be happy to be you! Hope all is well.

He did it! 51 days to climb all 100 Bulger's. I haven't seen his final numbers, but I'd wager his average day during his Bulger run is harder than any single day I've ever done in terms of milage and elevation gain. And he did that day after day for 51 days (with a couple rest days in there too)!!! I'll have to think about what my hardest day was, but man, what a beast! Congrats Jason!

Insane feat. Crazy to think he was on the summits of Shuksan, Baker, GP, Rainier, Little Tahoma, Adams, and St. Helens all in the span of 96 hours.

Things to accomplish when you are young. I'd be happy if my body let me get a fraction of that many hikes in a season.

We use the term 'amazing' quite a bit in this forum. This is really, really amazing.

Passing rocks and trees like they were standing still

Gotta give a shout out to Nathan Longhurst. Nathan accompanied Jason on 65 of his Bulger peaks. They had never met before their first peak of the project (Windy) and hit it off well enough to keep climbing together. After Jason finished, Nathan made it a point to finish the Bulger's too. Today he reached 100/100 to become the youngest to ever complete the Bulger list (21 years old) but also the second person to do it in a single season, and second fastest overall at 94 days. Pretty incredible effort by these two. Congrats Nathan!

The Mountaineers published an article on him this past Friday: https://www.mountaineers.org/blog/youngest-finisher-of-the-bulger-list-nathan-longhurst-climbs-washingtons-100-highest-peaks-at-21 Heck of an achievement.

I'm going to break his record using quantum superposition just as soon as I entangle myself.
