5 Volcanoes in 5 Days

Jen Sotolongo for the Seattle Times:

(Trisha) Steidl’s “Five Volcanoes” attempt officially began Monday, July 11, at 9:02 p.m., and stretched 84.5 miles with 43,000 feet of elevation gain. Before last month’s feat, the accomplished ultrarunner, mountaineer and former Seattle University cross-country and track coach had summited each of the five peaks but had never run more than 50 miles or completed that much elevation gain in a single, extended effort. 

Love projects like this one, where logistical challenges are just as tough to overcomes as physical ones.
