The Winter 48 in About a Week

The record is kinda cool. But records are made to be broken.
What's really impressive is the "Passaconaway Salute"
Be a long tome before anyone can top that.

They PASSED something alright . Ryan probably will try to break it again after he set the new WH2H record.

Congratulations team Shake and Bake, this amazing quest began with a great plan and was completed with killer execution, outstanding team work!

Here are few pictures from the hancocks hike.

Just an amazing feat (feet?) Everything came together for you guys. A great hiking team, awesome support and cooperative weather. Congrats to everyone who had a hand in the record setting.

Hui Yeng, Nice pics from the Hancocks with Jason!
Jason, Sorry I didn't attend your finish of Hancocks, by the time I left Ferncroft I was too tired to pitch a tent for the night. Looks like you had an excellent time!

Or as a Wise Man might have said:

"The wind, like the record, must be broken"

Congratulations. With a name like Ferris, well, it it explains why he is the "Iron Man". Well done.

Ryan Welts ... a 29-year-old Milford resident ... began hiking two years ago to lose weight. When that wasn’t happening quickly enough, he began running and then running mountains. Since then, he has dropped 80 pounds and runs ultra marathons

I was impressed before but WOW I am very impressed now. It's always amazing what one can do when motivated.

(Edit: as a side note I found it interesting that in as of 2008 only 409 had done the peaks in winter - I guess I was thinking the number would have been higher.)

I agree with Carole, that makes it all the more inspiring!

I had to take a break half way through reading the trip report. Just reading the report made me tired!

Great Job guys and the support crew!

Must have been a real slow news week in southern NH. I wish I had cool goggles like the big swede.
