PEOPLE MAKING TRACKS Summer Madness FKT and OKT action Huayhuashed Over June 10-11, <strong>2017</strong>, Darcy Piceu (above), 42, of Boulder, Colorado, set a new supported fastest-known time (FKT) on Peru’s Cordillera Huayhuash circuit of 29 hours 15 minutes. Located in west-central Peru, the Huayhuash is a sub-range of the Andes, 30 miles in length. The Cordillera Huayhuash circuit, which circumnavigates the range, runs 85 miles with more than 25,000 feet of climbing amid jutting 21,000-foot peaks. The range is remote and Piceu’s support team was only able to meet with her once, about midway through the rugged route. Holy Nolan’s During the first week in July, Andrew Hamilton, 42, of Denver, Colorado, set two FKTs in a single run on Nolan’s 14, an approximately 100-mile linkup of 14 14-thousand-foot peaks in Colorado’s Sawatch Range. Hamilton tacked 14,005-foot Mount of the Holy Cross onto the Nolan’s 14 route, completing an Only Known Time (OKT) on what has been dubbed “Holy Nolan’s,” adding 30 extra miles, in a total time of 72 hours flat. Coincidentally, Hamilton also set the (supported) record for Nolan’s 14 in the south-north direction, in 53 hours 42 minutes. Hamilton currently holds the overall record (53 hours 39 minutes) on Nolan’s 14, which he set in 2015, unsupported, north to south, just 10 weeks after setting the FKT for linking all of Colorado’s 14,000-foot peaks—9 days 21 hours 51 minutes. Manning Up In early July, in the Issaquah Alps east of Seattle, Ras Vaughan, 45, of Whibdey Island, Washington, and Seth Wolpin, 45, of Seattle, Washington, completed an OKT on the so-called Harvey Manning Peak Challenge, a 95-mile linkup of 18 peaks with roughly 40,000 feet of elevation gain. Vaughan and Wolpin took 78 hours 36 minutes to complete the route, which had apparently seen a couple of previous attempts and was conceived by Seattle-ite George Orozco. “It ran the gamut from picturesque Pacific Northwest trail to Forest Service roads to boulderfield scrambles,” says Vaughan. “And some crazy, nasty bushwhacking. [In some spots] the evergreens were so tight, it took a few minutes to move just a few feet.” QUIN STEVENSON
