Not surprising, he has done the Bells traverse in less than 20 minutes, this stuff is where he really shines.

He's moving faster than the ten minute interval on the tracking function. The track is not following his route closely as a result.

Ken Nolans spot always gave bad locations from El Diente, several miles off, I don't believe ever a successful one, I was waiting to see how Homies did. Seems ED is a Spot signal Bermuda Triangle. Has anyone sent a successful ED spot? I think he would have sent a check but maybe not with the bad weather, touch the top and scoot.

I was watching "America's Got Talent" last night and among the entrants was a guy who's "talent" was getting hit in the (groin) in a variety of ways. This is the kind of stuff people are watching. I can't stand those "reality" shows. It's too bad someone like this, with REAL talent, goes relatively un-noticed in our society. I feel like it's misplaced priorities, really.

Go Homie! Your tremendous efforts are an inspiration to us all!
UPDATE: Looks like Homie has reached the Rock of Ages Saddle, ~70 minutes after leaving the summit of Mt. Wilson.

Still - very exciting! Go, Homie!

SPOT loads fine from my condo, so it must be an access issue at work.

This is exciting! $\:D/$ $\:D/$ $\:D/$

We need a "buy Homie a Modus" button.

I wish this event would get some television coverage. The Olympics are over, lets watch this world record attempt on the 14'ers!

Homie is 41 years young (though he hardly looks a day over 30).
