2022 AC100: No 33-36hr Finisher Buckles?

its Notional

Recent AC100 rumors suggest that 2022 33-36hr finishers will not get a buckle. 

Behold the 2022 Buckle, which was orignally presented to the 2016  deserving DFL Post-Cutoff Finisher [Unofficial].

This proposed buckle is now the Second Life as the Avatar of the New Out-N-Back Urge Version of the venerable AC100. 

Because everybody deserves performance.

This may come as a shock to a generation that has gotten used to 50k buckles, and may be an especially tough burn for those lucky enough to have brought *two* shitloads of dimes to the Mt Baden-Powell Toll Booth.

Yes, that’s Elder Times Humor. You’ll adjust.

I’m sure it’s nothing Grindr can’t fix. However, Mr Trail Safety has a solution.

“Idiot child, must I tell you everything?”

Sorry, that was a past-life memory working in an ad/design shop on Robertson Blvd in the early 1980s.

Because Bobcat Fire.

However, there exists a true image of one "Marco", who brought a PNFT [Physical NFT, before they were a thing], to pay the toll. However he did not finish. Because it wasn't the Canonical Shitload Of Dimes.

Buy the ticket, take the ride
Watch this PNFT [Physical NFT] for a dick joke.

AC100: 2023 Is A Matter Of Course

The 2023 Notional AC100. The venerable Angeles Crest stumbled into 2023 with a finally redone website.  Congrats! Most of the photos are bright and shiny, and non-synchronous to actual locations. However, it's a considerable improvement. No idea if the signup is as buggy and weird as it was when the Next Day Lotto was unleashed several years ago. Everyone Has A Plan… RACE CANCELLED FOR 2023: SKIP TO THE END The Race has been able to rejoin its point-to-point origins, with continued mods by fire and bio-edict. RIP incinerated Mountain Yellow-Legged Frog [MYLF]. 2022's out-&-back is now an asterisk in the rear-view mirror. The new course map and descriptions are confusing. It was deja vu to 1990 for me all over again, only in color.  Map shows a Chantry pass-thru, while text indicates an out-n-back from Red Box to Newcombs, then up the Kenyon Devore over Mt Wilson. Thence over the top down to Idle Hour, to its eventual conclusion at Loma Alta in Altadena CA. Any Kenyon Devor

I Didn't Conquer Kilimanjaro

  THE SUMMIT I didn't conquer Kilimanjaro. I paid attention, cooperated with the mountain in optimal conditions. Made the summit on Mar 10 2024; and more importantly, made it back down safely on my own steam. This was a pilgrimage for my late wife Leslie Sowle, who'd done it in Dec 2003. When I reunited with her in Jan 2022, I repeated my admiration for her accomplishment. She looked at me and said "its just a long walk. You could do it" Leslie in red parka. Kilimanjaro, 2003. Photographer unknown. At the time I demurred, because Kili was irrelevant in the face of her oncoming death. I began thinking about it in September 2023. If not now, then when?  I started training with her very good 2003 Arcteryx RT25 pack at home in Ventura County, CA. I made no mention of it on the socials. Bad juju. I'd booked the longest trip possible [11 days Northern Lemosho Route] with Simon Mtuy's Summit Expeditions to get as much altitude conditioning possible. A shorter trip [
