With the support of his wife Elisabeth and a small group of friends, as well as a network of cached water bottles placed by him along the route previously, he set a new record of 3d15h51m, beating Cave Dog's previous record by exactly 1h30m. These apparently reflect the accepted rules for this venture.īeginning on July 6 at 5:00 am, and ending on July 9, 2003, at 8:51 pm atop Owl's Head mountain in the Pemigewasset Wilderness, 41 year old Vermont photographer Tim Seaver set a new record for speed climbing foot peaks in New Hampshire. Washington must be climbed on foot (not using the road or cog railway). Cave Dog's site lays out a set of rules for the trip which included no set route, allowance for resupply at any point, and that the clock would start at the first trailhead, and stop at the summit of the last peak. "Cave Dog" Ted Keizer established a stout record for climbing all the 4000ers of 3d17h21m, August 9-12, 2002. This site has an excellent summary of records going back to the Fitch Brothers (George and Tom) who did all 46 recognized 4000ers in 6d15h30m, in August 1973. Speed trips for climbing all the NH 4000ers go back decades - at least to the 1970s, when there were only 46 recognized 4000ers. *Update 6/30/22*: Men's records going forward must now be first TH to last TH to maintain parity with women's/non-binary requirements. However, times for women have been set from first TH to last TH. IMPORTANT NOTE: Historically, times for men have been set from first TH to last summit. Individual peaks are linked below, where available. Records have been reported for a few individual peaks, and for climbing all 48 as fast as possible. There are 48 peaks over 4000' in New Hampshire.
