Alasdair Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 24 hours with a 7 hour bivy. I will have to go again so I can beat your record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpine_Tom Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 I did it in about 16 hours, back in 1997. I bet the record is well under ten, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboclimber Posted April 22, 2003 Author Share Posted April 22, 2003 Not bad. I wasted alot of time deciding whether or not to cross a crevass field and probably too much time up on top looking around. If I do it again I'll jog more.

Tod Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 7-8 years ago I climbed Glacier from Seattle to Seattle in 23:45 hours. I forgot what my time was from car to car, but I figure with the drive time (3 hours?) I probably did it in less than 16-18 hours (including the 2+ nap/passout on the summit). I think remember summiting at 10am and heading down at 1pm, but that could be all wrong since I didn't write any of it down to remember. Â Sometime after that, a group of 4 of us climbed up Baker via CD Seattle to Seattle in well less than 24 hours. Not to hard to do that since their is less elevation gained and less trail mileage. Â I guess back then we were more interested in making sure we were not out of town for more than 24 hours . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PONCHO&LEFTY Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 Doug Mckeever (Whatcom Community college geology instructor) did this- " On a perfect August day in 1998, just two days after doing the Sitkum Glacier route in fairly standard three day fashion, I did a solo "speed" climb of the same route in 7 hours and 54 minutes, car to summit to car (about 24 miles r.t. and 8,800' climb). I wish I could have just one race sometime where everything clicks like it did that day!" web page   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairweather Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 I once climbed a very big and well know mountain in under 4 hours! Of course I'm not including the short intervals taken for each "rest step".... and time spent taking photos, eating, drinking, sleeping, urinating, enjoying the view, etc. When I added those minutes to the time actually spent moving uphill I guess the climb took about... two days.
