Why anybody would want to do the schwak up and back from Blum in the same day is well beyond me [Eek!] !!

 

How about tagging all of the summits of the Liberty Bell group in a day? Anybody try it? Looks like it could be possible....

Are you sure it started with an N? Someone mentioned the Tahoma earlier. It has everything you described: a long approach, its often done in 3+ days and the scenery is spectacular.

If the wonderland trail can be done in 30 something hours (20,000+vertical gain and 100+ish miles?)

And the nose goes in 2 something hours,Certainly any route on any hill in our state could go in a 24 hour day.

 

Sure not by me though.

Just for curiousity, who is the stongest big hill slogger in WA right now (with a good size pack, and mountain boots on -no trail runners)? I would say that Ben Manfredi would have to rank right up there. He just recently tried to break the wonderland trail record, with a pack on and with no support team or cached food or water. He usually hikes in his Terminator tele boots.

There's a BIG difference between covering miles and vertical feet. While climbing the nose in 2:48 is mind boggling, it's still 3,000 feet up without much approach and straight forward descent. Approaching 15 miles, climbing 5,000+, descending/hiking out same is big enough.(Mt. Goode.) Moving over extremely rugged terrain, bush wacking, and covering MANY miles means you just won't do it in a day. Thus my premise there are LOTS of routes not doable in a day. Why bother listing them all. Those of us who have been there know getting it done in 24 hours or even 48 is NOT what it's all about.

Now there's a great question. Maybe Mike Gauthier could enlighten us on this?

I agree!!! Sky, my brother and I just skied/climbed Blum in a day on Sunday (as near as we could. We didn't tag the true, true summit though, but it wasn't skiable hellno3d.gif via our route). And here I thought that it was an easy mtn. I was humbled. There is nothing like schwacking 5k of pure north cascades forest in the dark, in the rain, in the fog, in the winter.

 

And oh, now I know how you resurrect old threads. I was just looking at this Dru smile.gif If anyone could make a 1000 posts in a day, you would be that man grin.gif

SEF Has done this; and not by the easiest routes. A notable accomplishment.
