Fantastic adventure, and beautifully written! Thanks for sharing. :)

Nice work and great telling of the trip!  Scary to read about the wind gusts up there on top.

Sweet!  Have been contemplating a version of this that could be called "Sandy to Summit".  Glad to hear you blew our cycling mileage out of the water :)

Way cool. I have been contemplating a similar adventure (maybe not going quite so huge). Inspiring, thanks for posting it.

sweet trip dude
way to get after the adventure!

Very nice brother!! An inspiration, certainly from the physical perspective, but more so from the human perspective. Rebuffat is writing a poem right now about your harmonius communion with nature and human spirit for those < 24 hours.

Proof you can have an adventure in your own back yard.  All it takes is an adventurous spirit and a little creativity.

Way to go kid!  I've been thinking about a leisurely version of that from Seattle to ski in the cascades.  My idea was just to do a totally "green" trip, not an endurance and adrenalin trip like you did.  Very inspiring!

Strong work! I've contemplated a similar trip but thought about including a loop on the Timberline Trail as well. This led to a bike approach-circumambulation/trailrun-summit-ski descent-bike return on all the volcanoes with round-the-mountain trails; Three Sisters, Hood, St Helens, Rainier, Adams, and Glacier Peak come to mind. Call it the "Once Around and Up" tour.

However, I have not managed to get any further than casual contemplation, and I never dreamed of doing it in one push. So once again, strong work! It's always nice to see Portland represent.
