new hiking record - CDT Yo-Yo

November 1st, 2007 · 1 Comment

The cyberhobo tipped me to an unprecedented feat on the CDT:

Francis Tapon has finished the first documented yo-yo (through-hike in both directions, in one season) of the Continental Divide Trail, with Garret The Onion finishing soon after. Congrats to them both for an amazing and inspiring feat!

My first thought was, “both should be credited with the CDT Yo-Yo”. The Onion certainly should not feel he came in “second”.

There is so much variation in route on the CDT that the two adventures cannot be compared.

For the Onion, check his amusing LAST post on the trail: Can I Mex? Mex I Can.
