I was less along than I thought this past Saturday, the illustrious Davy Crockett was busting out this loop:

I must have passed him while he was refueling at Phantom Ranch a bit before 0700. I saw a green light far below me on the South Kaibab just as I was entered the Vishnu, and thought it might be him. Small world.

It’s quite a route, too. Grapevine and Cremation are tough, much moreso than they seem on paper, and doing the later a second time after 24 hours on the go would be quite the sting.

There are a lot of crazies out there.
