Tree climber sets PCT record.

[LivinHigh]

Local tree climber Scott Williamson sets record for hiking/running the Pacific Crest Trail. He has hiked the trail both ways back to back twice in one season which is over 5,000 miles in the highest peaks of the Sierra. He has done the hike 19 times from Mexico to Canada. Amazing athlete.

He almost had to be running it to do it that fast. Amazing. I was just out in Sequoia NP 2 weeks ago. Have some great pics of the western divide from Moro rock.
