Benoit at osa-ultratrail reported this morning his estimations of the PTL characteristics calcuted according to the GPS trace provided by the UTMB organisation. The PTL would then feature 245km and an incredible 21,590m of ascent this year... That's nearly 2.5 times the Everest, 4.5 times the Mont-Blanc or 20 times Snowdon... It comes a bit as a surprise as the official page reads an estimated 18,000m. Well, I guess we'll have to work hard on ascents repetitions...
