2014 14er Speed Record Attempt

Tracker works horribly on cell

Got it to work briefly though. Last point is 9:19 a few minutes from the trailhead. If he made it to the th at 9:30, I might guess 10:30 for jaws? Or maybe it's longer than I think at 11:00...

Can somebody tell me exactly where he is now and estimate how far from jaws 1? Thanks! Tracker doesnt work great on cell

at 9:50 am Mountain he's at the Cielo Vista ranch gate. Nowhere near Lake Como road yet

The schedule calls for 1:45 from ranch gate (@10:20 AM) to Jaws 1. Looks like they are a little more than a half hour ahead of schedule so jaws 1 should be ~11:30

Thanks! Thought we were dust bunnies before the hike even began for a sec

Edit - got in touch with james, all good

Monster5 - I'll do a little desktop work for you if you're twiddling your thumbs and can't get cell maps to do much for you.

GOOGLE MAPS (for what its worth) thinks the drive from the ranch gate to the point where Google Maps stops considering the Lake Como Rd to be an actual Road is

39 miles = 55 minutes.



But since LC road starts to get really crappy around that point, the next mile is going to be another 10+ minutes just on its own.

So, if Andrew's team dodges the town of Blanca speed trap effectively, you might see them at Jaws 1 as soon as 11 -11:15 am (CV Ranch gate at 9:50 am, unclear if jumped right in the car or repacked in the open first) Their projected travel time might have some padding in it.

The Mule says Homie is going up from Lindsay to meet Andrew on the Gash Ridge.

[EDIT] 10:51 am. [EDIT] Andrew's crew is at the Lake Como turnoff from Rte 150 where LC road begins heading NE

[jdorje]

Today's schedule (stolen from Ron without permission). He looks to have picked up about 30 minutes on Culebra versus what was budgeted (8:01 summit versus 8:20 scheduled; the descent is harder to gauge).

Peeps looking for Andrew: still at LC Road turnoff at 11:01. Stopped for at least 10 min...gear check? Switch to bike?

Location update: 11:11 Andrew is on the move up LC Road at vehicular speeds. Don't know if is 4x4 or dirt bike.

Dirt bike was the plan.

High spirits, moving well. Steve and I bit slower on the traverse but he is near bivwacko. James drove him up in 4runner.
