Hasn't voted | Good. I'll be expecting feedback from everyone who dayhikes this as to whether they agree with you or me. :-) | |

Voted 10/10 | Maybe I'll use this as the 1st day warm-up for next year's Challenge. If I do it in less than 20hrs, can we say it's easier? :-) | |

Hasn't voted | I've no doubt that your approach is quicker--but I'm betting it might only be by 3 hours or so (assuming you climb Volunteer as well). Regardless, I don't necessarily equate hours out on the trail with how difficult an effort is--Pettit/Volunteer was only 1/2 hr longer than Milestone/Midway, but it felt far tougher. And I still think several hours of difficult XC would prove more tiring than a much longer time spent just crusing along on a good trail. We'll have to wait for Rick, Jeff, or Glenn to provide an impartial third opinion. Maybe one of them will agree to try both approaches to compare them. :-) | |

Voted 10/10 | No need to wait for a third opinion. I concede my route is the less-optimal. Now I have to consider whether your route or Michael's (via Horsecreek Pass) is faster for dayhiking Volunteer. I will probably save that for 2008. :-) | |

Voted 10/10 | Nice, I wonder with these pages you set up if you encourage people to climb them, or make people think, "only a crazy man would try that." | |

Hasn't voted | Hey, I said it was one of the toughest peaks to reach in Yosemite... doesn't that make you want to go out and dayhike it? | |

Hasn't voted | Most of the approach is on good trail, so it's possible to make pretty good time out there--as I recall, it took 9.5 hours to reach Volunteer. | |

Voted 10/10 | The pettit jury might need some more pix to make up its mind, but this juror votes for acquittal | |
