Wow. I just read some of those times! I don't think I'm even part of the same species as some of these guys!! LOL They're super human!!! I'm 54 and it took me 5 hours/45 minutes to get to the top of San Gorgonio. (I got a little sick the last hour) We did jog/fast walk down, and it took me 3 hours and 15 minutes to descend, with the last 45 in the dark. I didn't really start hiking until the end of June, so I'm happy with my progress. I did all of my training this summer on Mt. Baldy, via ski hut or devil's backbone trail. I agree with the other post; that guy should have been in the Olympics!
