That is simply incredible. The terrain in the middle section is extremely tough.
Well done to them

Anyone willing to share a gps track with me on this one?

Also curious on the checkpoints, start, finish and other general rules. Also other concerns such as water and access.

I suppose it's going to be difficult to maintain, but the original concept behind this FKT was for a bit of mountain experience and micro-navigation to play a role as well. Once you see the terrain, you will understand what I mean, but there is a real advantage to be gained by picking some good lines along the ridge. Hence, you'll struggle to get GPS tracks from the people who have actually completed the traverse.

Same story with water and other intel - the only data that is freely available is the start, finish and trig beacon checkpoint locations. The rest is for you to discover :)
