Hopefully the snow this weekend is far enough away to not have an impact on Justin's attempt...

37 hrs to Molas Pass. Nice long descent coming up before a gradual slog up to Hunchback Pass. I was at 28 hrs between Molas Pass and the terminus. With mostly downhill and a lighter pack weight. By the end Justin will feel like he’s not even wearing a pack.

How many hours did you stop each day/night? Looks like Justin stopped between 4-5 hours last night.

It varied… Averaged around 5 I’d guess.

Trying to reach end of segment but hard time moving b/c of asthma attack. May try to bail to Lake City. Any help in getting to civilization appreciated.

Oh no.CR9 down to CR30 would be his best bet.

Hopefully he can lie down and rally.
