Grand Canyon Rim to Rim to Rim Training Vlog 24 - Humphreys

Описание: Grand Canyon Rim to Rim to Rim Training Vlog 24 - Humphreys is the continued documentation of my training to prepare for doing the Grand Canyon Rim to Rim to Rim. This week I go with my friend Logan to hike Mt Humphreys, the tallest peak in Arizona. Along the way I meet three other people who have quite a bit more Grand Canyon experience than I have. I hiked this same trail last year with my brother Matt and our friend David. You can find that video here:    • Hiking Humphreys Peak - Conquer Your Mount...  

I set out to do the hike for the first time in 2015 but failed. I returned last year (2017) and succeeded at crossing the distance in 20 hours 38 minutes. This year my goal is to do it in 16 hours, so I am training to run as much of it as I can. After 4 and a half months of training, I went with Carl Dobbins, one of my very best friends, and some of his family members to the Grand Canyon to achieve our goal. I failed. I fell victim to nausea and my hopes of hitting 16 hours faded away. I did eventually cross the distance, after an overnight stay near the ranger station at Phantom Ranch. My total time? 30hrs. I have committed to go back in October to try again.

These training vlogs will continue to document my training and preparation. I hope some of the information shared in these videos will add value to anyone who is interested. I hope to share some insights that might help others that may have an interest in taking on a similar challenge.
