3 Peak Challenge

8/6/21  At long last, successful completion of the 24hr 3 Peak Challenge!! And on my 50th birthday to make it even sweeter! 42 miles and 14,000' of gain. Solo and NO tram. Total time of 22:39 including almost 4 hours of drive and transition time. Physically challenging but even more challenging mentally.

While training for something bigger in the Summer of 2021, I inadvertently completed a 3 Week challenge. Adventure 16 is unfortunately no longer around, so it's strictly a personal challenge now. But it still counts!

Coming back from injury and out of shape again, I toyed with the idea of doing the 3 Day version. But I ended-up playing it conservative and doing the 3 Week version instead. 54 miles, and about 15,000' of gain. It felt great to be back on the trails!

Not in shape in 2017, and this time injured as well, I had to settle for the 3 Day version again. This time 50 miles, and 17,000' of gain. Again no tram on San Jacinto, and this time the super long Momyer trail for the Gorgonio summit.

Not quite in shape for the 24 hour version in 2016, I opted for the 3 Day version instead. 54 miles and 15,500' of gain, including the long tram-less South Ridge route on San Jacinto. Still a definite butt kicker!
