Saw this on Twitter the other day, looks like a really cool (and cold) adventure.

The guys finished the crossing last week. They managed to travel 42km on the last day - impressive in any season, but this is a superhuman feat in the winter. Really impressive. I'm hoping they come out with some kind of a trip report.

Not sure about the other guys but Eric Batty is the brother of Canadian Olympic Mountainbiker Emily Batty . I'm sure he's ultra fit as are the other guys. Nonetheless a superhuman feat for sure. Like walking in to the unknown out there this time of year. Can't wait for full trip report. I'm sure they had there share of cool experiences, bloopers and *** moments. Hot tent transient camping can't be easy not to mention traversing sketchy ice conditions and deep snow. Not for the inexperienced or faint of heart. Here's a link to fb page for some pictures and inreach posts.

He certainly is fit.
For those of you familiar with the "La Cloche Silhouette" hiking trail in Killarney, Eric has run the whole 80km of it in just under 9.5hrs... Ridiculous!

Also Eric has a blog (http://www.ericbatty.com/blog) and is also a great photographer.
I see he already has some photos posted and if there isn't already I'm sure that there will be a written post to follow.
