I only know of 3 passes that have been used on a Mafadi FKT - Leslies, Apes and Judge. Corner could be interesting to throw into the mix, but I can't see any route being faster than Judge Pass. I wonder how fast Judge Pass from Injisuthi would be...

Looking at the track, he started around 5:35, hit Mafadi at about 9 and was back at about 11:25. That would be around 5h50! Also of note - he used Corner Pass both ways. Well done Ryan and Ryno

I thought Corner Pass will be cool from Injisuthi. Turns out it was...ghaznavid wrote: When Ryan Sandes posted about Mafadi a few days ago I asked him if he was shooting for the FKT. He asked for more info, so I sent him a link to Andrew's story on the Epic Day Hikes thread. Would be interesting to see how they go.

Remember there is also a thread for dealing with the broader definitions, philosophies and rules of FKT's in the Berg:

As much as possible, please try keep posts on this thread limited to short snippets recording actual attempts/times of FKTs.

Are there any existing FKTs for Giant's Castle? This would certainly be up there, despite doing it in the dark...

I say this based on a chat I had a while back with Dreyer van Huyssteen, who has run quite a bit in the berg, at Giants and with Ryno. I remember he mentioned something about under 5 hours.
EDIT:
Just got a message from Dreyer - he says he can't remember his exact Giants direct time, but he has done 6hrs up Langies -to the summit and back along the Bannerman path. He reckons Ryan and Ryno could do Giant's direct way quicker and that they probably had a cup of tea on the summit.
