In preparation for the Grand Traverse, I made it to Challange, via the Backway, with 500 in reserve before hitting 1/3rds, thereby assuring that I’d have adequate gas supply for the Grand Traverse. This route is approximately 2400 ft. from Peacock1 to Challange.

From Orange to Challange is approximately 1800 ft. Total of Grand Traverse, without any additional jumps, is 4200 ft.

With LP 85’s filled to 3600 psi, I set the pace, and used 1800 psi in 43 mins. to get to Challange via Peacock1 (the backway), and following my buddy out, I used 1500 psi in 56 mins. with a slight push.

I set my markers on the end of the line at the Peanut restriction, in setup for the Grand Traverse.
