Art O'Neill challenge 2016

opus · 2015-10-10 10:33:20

Great to hear it's back on again next Jan, same as last year restricted to 200 places. See the website - http://www.artoneillchallenge.ie/ 2015 thread is here. I'll be entering with a friend of mine but to be 100% honest I'm not sure if I'll be disappointed or relieved if I don't get in ;)

Yeah, saw photos yesterday, was thinking it would be pretty solid, rather than the depth of snow you ended up in!

Wrong! :eek: On the mountain section there was 2 ft of snow to work through. It looked solid but when you put your foot down you broke through the upper crust of frozen snow and sank down into the softer stuff. Running was almost impossible on a lot of it. That's my third AON and it was definitely the hardest.

Congrats to all who got trough it. Phenomenal time by the winner in those conditions.

Nothing but respect for everyone doing this!

The navagation was easier with the snow. I was able to spend less time looking at the compass/GPS by following the foot prints. The snow was very deep in places on table mountain. It was beautiful up there.
