Starting at their car in the early morning hours, the trio summited just after daybreak before returning to the parking lot and doing it all over again. The second and final summit of the day came at 5:25 pm. The double-down took approximately 16 hours and 4 minutes. The inaugural feat has since been named by its conquerors as “The Double Grand 50K.”
