In honor of those poor souls suffering their ways up to the top of Mount Mitchell, I present these videos from my last attempt. Will I do it again? I don’t know.
Wow, how video technology has improved over the years. This video was recorded with an early generation of the Contour action camera. The date was nearly 5 years ago… June 2010.
I’ve already heard that there was an accident in the event that started this morning. That is one of the main reasons why I have stayed away from the event. The last time I attempted it, there were multiple opportunities to crash getting out of Spartanburg. That year it was also a logistical nightmare getting back off the mountain. It made for a very long day.
My hat (helmet?) off to all those who do this year after year. They are some hard men and women!
Today is the Assault on Mt. Mitchell. Here are some video memories from the epic event: http://t.co/GZLtSSzzdG
