\r\n Update<\/span>: On Sun, Sep 6, 2020, I finally finished up my entire Eagle’s 33 Challenge<\/a> route in 104h 42min (4d 8h 42min) and was able to bag all 33 peaks this time. Now I need some rest. Stay tuned for a detailed report and movie in the near or far future.\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\nT<\/span>he 3rd<\/sup>\u00a0Eagle’s 33 Challenge attempt<\/a> ended in yet another failure: it took me a whopping 110h 17min (4d 14h 17min) to bag 32 peaks. I had only packed food that I could stretch for about 100h. A huge calories deficit ensued. And worse, I did fail to summit Needle Point, the very last peak in my route. Needle(ss) to say that this was a total downer at 9,000ft.\n

For a totally inexplicable reason, I’m now going back for a 4th<\/sup> attempt with a new strategy and a new route. Also, with more food.<\/p>\n

\r\n The Eagle’s 33 Challenge<\/a> consists of summiting all 33 peaks<\/a> over 9,000ft (2743m) with at least 300ft (91m) of prominence in Oregon’s Eagle Cap Wilderness<\/a> (aka Wallowa Mountains) in a single push.\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\n

The planned start is on Wed, Sep 2, 2020. Once again, I will start from the East Eagle Trailhead<\/a>. The red markers on the map indicate the 33 peaks that I will attempt to bag. My planned route is not<\/em> shown.<\/p>\n
