    Maybe not a long distance challenge but has 3000m of ascent in 10k!

    Here's a short article and the times

    Very impressive

    Re: Cuillin ridge record broke

    Having taken the best part of a week to complete the ridge last year, I'm just about speechless - mind you that did include setting up a bivvy, learning how to climb and retrieving the (unused due to wet weather) bivvy. Even discounting that, I still took two days!

    Awesome.

    The prospect of even trying to race across ground like that is terrifying.

    Three attributes required
    - Incredibly fit
    - Sensationally sure footed scrambler
    - TOTAL common sense removal!

    Pretty amazing stuff!
    The Ridge is on my "To do" list as I have had 3 unsuccessful winter attempts
    The 24h Black and Red + sounds interesting does anyone know where the details of Yiannis's route are?
    In endless fruitless pursuit of roadrunners...

    Hi John, this is on hold due to Yiannis' knee op. Perhaps September? Cheers, Ali.
