Hi Abralene. I checked and you should be okay. You're definitely in the AZ Summer group. Try going to this link: https://socialhiker.net/six-pack-peaks-challenge/arizona-summer/log-your-arizona-summer-six-pack-hike/

You've got it, Todd.

Hi Melinda! What was the error? The edit functionality is still on the “to-do” list, but there are a few other feature enhancements ahead of it. Is there an edit you need in the meantime?

[Jeff]

Hi Naaman!

We can't do benchmarks, flags or patches “on demand”. There are sources for on demand stickers, but they tend to be pricey. What we could do is order stickers and stock those, and possibly patches if there is enough demand. I'll send out a survey and see what kind of interest there is.

[Jeff]

Done!

Hey Cory! All fixed!

[Jeff]

We will have additional swag available at the Finishers Party in October. For the 2019 SoCal challenge we had Finisher stickers, t-shirts and posters.

Patches are challenging because of the long lead time to produce. On the new challenges, we've changed from sending out a patch with the welcome packet to awarding patches to finishers only, and only at the end of the challenge. We might do something similar for the 2021 SoCal challenge. Our goal is to reduce waste by ordering a number of patches that allows sufficient extras, without ending up with too many that nobody needs or wants.

Stickers have a very short production turnaround, and give us much more flexibility. T-shirts, posters and hats are even easier, because they are all produced on-demand (no inventory maintained).

Apart from the patch you asked about, what sort of swag would you love to see?

[Jeff]

Fixed, Dawn!

No, they followed the “rules” set forth for A16's 3-Saints Challenge — taking the Palm Springs Tram up and hiking from there.

Hi Megan! I think you mean the finishers badge (we don't have a finishers patch). You weren't the only one who should've gotten one. The good news is… you've got it now, and our programmer promises it'll never happen again.

[Jeff]

Actually, both examples I mention ARE the original six. @roppelaar was the first to hike all six in six days, and about a week later, @rx4sudo and @jae-bundang did them in under 48 hours.

What makes the sub-48 hour record so notable is that they didn't do the six in the most efficient order. They first wanted to complete the 24-hour 3-Saints Challenge (San Antonio, San Jacinto and San Gorgonio) because they were pretty sure they could do that, but weren't certain about the full six peaks. So they ended up doing a lot of extra driving to backtrack.

[Jeff]

And done.

[Jeff]

Done.
