Heard of Art Brody’s unsupported FKT of AZT (800 miles)?

[Murali C]

Recently I heard of this hike on a reddit forum.

He did it in 28 days while carrying all the food he needed for this 800 mile unsupported hike. If you work out the average – it comes to 28 miles a day! Which I think is amazing and unreal and crazy! Looks like an older hiker carrying close to 87 lbs in an Osprey Xenith 105 backpack! I still cannot believe it!

You can check out his daily log, pictures and videos here:

This probably deserves the “FKT of the Year” – but there are very few who can appreciate what goes into a trek like this.

I think this particular record (unsupported FKT of the AZT) is ripe for more aggressive record attempts. Art finished with 30 pounds, slept well, brought some luxuries, and ended up picking a cherry. Where are you Jeff Garmire?
