I'm older than I smell.
Sigh... good for her. Seriously.
But if one of you is on instagram it would be a serious kindness to just tell her that hitching DQ's her. As someone pointed out above- there's a decent chance it was more than one hitch if she's going with a low carry weight/frequent resupply strategy.
From a cynics point of view... if she pulled it off the controversy would generate PR... so carry on I guess.
From the more human side of things- its fairly cruel to let her keep slugging it out if she truly is a contender. If it's just going to be an admirable hike... my admiration is standing by at the ready. But if it's meant to be an FKT that dream is dead.
