Congrats on a massive dayhike! Joel and I also suddenly felt the'crash' at about the time we returned over Bonney Pass.
Did you guys get the idea from this? :-) Bob Burd & my experience on the Sierra Challenge were my inspirations for the hike.
Also, did you stay pretty much on route? On Topo! We measured the distance at just over 40 miles, which was probably a little short. It would be nice to adjust my distance stats. Did your GPS record any elevation gain stats?
I read your trip report but it was mostly an independent idea. Scott Wesemann did not go to the summit, but he GPS'ed the part he did do, and from this we estimated the total at around 44 miles. No GPS data on elevation gain. I never really felt like hell, but the last 5 miles or so seemed to go on forever, especially in the dark when I was just going on autopilot.
I'll be in SLC for two weeks in about 2 weeks. We should get out for some good suffering then! Interested in a traverse of the Timp Massif? Or another romp up Wildcat Ridge?
