I did the 100K in 2012. They had to adjust the route due to flood damage. Over 7,000’ of climbing. Might have been close to 8,000. I did it on my heavy a** LHT. Fell going up a wet, pave carriage road. (It rained the night before.) Walked part of a descent that had railroad ballast size stones. The final unpaved stretch was a road but was more like a rocky, dry creek bed with elevated sides. I slept well that night.
