Entry Application
This is a very extreme event for a group of very extreme "ultra-climbers", trying to achieve something that has never been done before in an organized event. The goal for this group is to prove that it is possible to fast-hike together 125 miles over many high summits nonstop in 62 hours. To get the synergy-effect of a group, we will assist each other whenever we can. There will be no whining, no complaining, etc. Make sure that you are mentally and physically prepared as you have never been prepared before!
