Francis Tapon

Jump to: navigation, search

Francis Tapon is an adventurer and writer who has hiked the AT, PCT, and CDT. For the latter, he hiked it end-to-end-to-end (a Yo-Yo Hike) in one season -- the first person to do so. Among long-distance record-breakers, Tapon is arguably the most lightly equipped, with a base weight of around 5 lbs. for most of his CDT yo-yo.
