Food for thought .. If anyone ever needs someone to help carry extra gear ,or extra weight, feel free to call on us, we love helping those reach the summit and sometimes that extra weight is a limiting factor...We will drop off and pick :::))).

Mr. McCoy, you are one glutton for punishment... as I think hard what would really be great to have waiting for me at the summit after 211 miles - my second choice would be a small Weber charcoal grill and a 16oz Ribeye steak; first choice would be a hang glider (59 lbs)... wonder if anyone has toted one to the top before? Kidding aside, very awesome offer! Yep, there's nothing like greeting someone at the summit hut and seeing tears in their eyes - they did something truly memorable!
