You could go longer and look at the Colorado Trail, but that is a different beast altogether. From a purely peak-bagging perspective, I can't think of a route that even comes close to BG, but then our mountains are a lot bigger. The Glacier Gorge Traverse in RMNP is 11 peaks between 12&14k'. I think that route is 22-23 miles with about 11.5k' of climb with a couple of exposed class IV/V sections. Seems like the northeast would be a better venue for a mega peak bagging route that is doable in a day. Maybe in the Adirondacks?<br /><br />Chris - yup, another round of Texas rock torture on the docket.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07768257304687597320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241238297532213032.post-47148648775650985412011-11-14T10:56:09.604-08:002011-11-14T10:56:09.604-08:00Nick, I saw you made a date with the Texas rocks t...Nick, I saw you made a date with the Texas rocks this Jan.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13430126177936755877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241238297532213032.post-80227959713433181452011-11-14T10:26:05.848-08:002011-11-14T10:26:05.848-08:00Is there something similar to the Bob Graham Round...Is there something similar to the Bob Graham Round in Colorado (or US)?

Would be great to see/run with you on the fells - starting to stitch details together with Morgan. The Paddy Buckley, huh!<br /><br />Tony - yes indeed, the elusive Red Star and Lyon Ridges; yet another reason to be thinking WS 2012. You'll need to qualify first, though!<br /><br />Salomon World Domination: I think Kilian has his stall set out for North American Summer Domination in 2012. He'll be at WS, and then I'm sure he'll pop up on the HR list soon enough. Round that out with a 1:12 descent on Pikes (but no CR) and the domination is off to a good start. Ive got a plan for WS, though.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07768257304687597320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241238297532213032.post-89685880952144511912011-11-14T09:12:44.792-08:002011-11-14T09:12:44.792-08:00Yeah, I'm placing very little faith in the HR ...Yeah, I'm placing very little faith in the HR lottery going my way, so am increasingly getting my fires stoked by thoughts of WS again next year. We both still need to run the real high-country portion of the course, after all!<br /><br />My real question is, with no presence in either lottery yet, what are Salomon's plans for continued world domination next year?<br /><br />TAntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11148317903654491236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241238297532213032.post-9086993921037352882011-11-14T08:48:31.053-08:002011-11-14T08:48:31.053-08:0042 Nick you must have been checking the Paddy Buck...42 Nick you must have been checking the Paddy Buckley round as well ;-) May see you on the Wasdale fells in DecemberBillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14447852318930390906noreply@blogger.com
