Would this be the same Ryan I saw on the summit of Bond in July? I met a trail runner who was finishing his Pemi Loop...he looked like he had just stepped out of the shower and gotten ready for a casual day out. No sweat, looking perfect.

He was very kind and took the time to point out all the summits in the 360 degree distance. Very nice fellow.

Congrats, Ryan!! (And if this is a different person than the one I'm thinking of, well -- congrats anyway!)

Hey Ryan,

I had a good feeling when you went flying past just north of Edmands Col. Congratulation on hitting your goal!

Well done!
Earl
