Dr. Dirtbag did it in 62 hours and change!
Holly mackerel. That is amazingly fast!

Did what?

And who is "Dr. Dirtbag"?

Tagging all 15 California 14ers in 62 hours. Incredible. Story here .

Bad Ass .. I love the motivation and determination.. Looks like the Sierra is full of incredible endurance athletes ... love it

Sean has been training incredibly hard for this for the last few years. He is an inspiring athlete, and has a focus and determination that make him world-class.

I always tease him about not actually touching the ground when he's out there, and I think this might be proof.

I am very, very proud of him.

Big ol’ congrats Sean!
Simply amazing feat that I still can’t get my head around.
Just going from South Lake parking area to Sill in ~6 hours via the T-bolt-2-Sill traverse is bad a** by itself….yowzer!
It must be really sweet to have the Sierra fly under you as you motored along that fast, but beet juice….Eeuuuu
Cheers,

cheers to Dr. Dirtbag

Incredible and great TR too. Congrats Sean!

Thats Nuts!!!

What a Summer this has been.

First we have Richards quests
Then we get Davey's speed runs
Now we have the Dr doing this!

The only thing that is Missing is Moose tearing up the Seirra Challenge again.

WOW, JUST WOW!!!!

Stay tuned . . .

Backpacker Magazine gave Bob Burd's Sierra Challenge some "air time"

I'm not going anywhere -

How about "Laura's having the time of her life while taking a month off from work."

I just put my head down and slog it out, people. The bonus is that I get to do it in the vicinity of some of the most fun guys (and gals!!!) of which I know.

No expectation, let the rabbits run, let's go have some fun.

Moose OUT.

We were looking for you today
I even had a beer stashed in my pack!

And instead you ran into the master rabbit! Glad you finally got to meet him. Everyone at dinner tonight was telling me about you both. Sorry I missed you out there (when I was just, well, here in the moose lodge)!

I thought it was Master Wabbit!


"Yeah, we saw a couple of 40-somethings laboring up the trail sweating and outta breath asking if we saw Laura out there"

We saw a BUNCH of Challenge folks coming back down the trail. We asked everyone if they were with the SC. (some you could just tell...lol) I even ended up doing a little advertising for next years event. A couple of people that we passed were not aware of it, but after an explanation, they were bummed that they didn't get in on it this year.

Just incredible. Nice write up too. thanks for showing just what is possible.
