Agreed. That being said I'm going to have to get an ultralight AT setup to keep up with you guys next year.

Been up there many times before dawn, maybe 2nd or 3rd person on the boot pack. Wind drifts that are nipple deep or worse, hard to make good time in those conditions. The rewards of first tracks down the gut make the 45 minute plus hike completly worth it. My PR is about 40 mins to the hut, 2nd lap is usualy a little faster, but traffic dictates pace for sure. Have been in conditions that are basicly white room and the hike is well over an hour. Small price to pay for Teton fluff; nothing makes the job a little more bareable than sunrise tracks.
My personal worst Glory hike was the time I got passed by a local MILF that was 6-7 months preggers.
Granted, daddy had her skis, and I had sea-level flu lungs, but it was humbling. 1:15 or so
I ran into Dan the other night at the liquor store and asked his opinion on the fastest time - the quickest he had heard of was 25 minutes.
10 laps in 11 hours is pretty intense

Beating my age makes me happy.
