Hi,
I decided to use the info on this site as the basis for an infographic showing the FKT's and elevation profiles of some of the major routes in the northeast (Hut-to-Hut, Pemi, Mahoosuc, Presi, Devil's Path, Great Range). Congrats to all of the record holders over the years. I just go and hike these routes...the mind boggles at the FKT's. I've uploaded it as an image (low-res, somewhat hard to read) and as a downloadable PDF (higher quality, easy to read).
While the data is from this site, any errors or omissions are my fault. I double-checked as best I could. I realize most people would probably plot the elevation profile in the standard way, but I like how the symmetric plots give each route a sort of Rohrschac blot character.

Best,
Rob
p.s. Elevation and distance data are per Caltopo traces of each of the routes. I believe all of the routes reflect the direction and path of the current FKT holders. Not that you could notice but i realized later I used the star-lake trail for Adams on the Presi route by accident, I don't think it is material for this graphic.
