Virginia woman sets record for summiting all the Adirondack 46 High Peaks

Alyssa Godesky of Charlottesville, Virginia has set a new women’s record for summiting all of the Adirondack 46 High Peaks, North Country Public Radio reports. Godesky completed the feat in 3 days, 16 hours, and 16 minutes, covering 160 miles and tackling more than 67,000 feet of elevation gain. Godesky also holds the women’s supported fastest known time of Vermont’s Long Trail.

“Hopefully putting myself out there and going for [the record] encourages other women to get out more in the mountains and get competitive in the mountains because it’s such a great place to get fit,” she told NCPR. “That’s what I love to do and if I can inspire anyone else by seeing my run, if they’re inspired to get out and go hike a peak, then it’s well worth it.”
