Too much driving to swing up to Shav/Tab, then double back to Lake Como. Taking a rest afternoon. Want to be fresh for the traverse. Hopefully it’s not a bowling alley in the hourglass tmrw AM…hangingbelay wrote: ↑Fri Jul 09, 2021 12:54 pm Wow - he's doing awesome so far - two peaks ahead of schedule! It's great to see another dad crushing it.
I wonder what he'll do this afternoon? Just get in position for the Blanca Group tomorrow, or try to add on something else, like maybe Shavano and Tabeguache?

Take this route to avoid the bowling. It's easier, quicker and you'll be alone.Jorts wrote: ↑Fri Jul 09, 2021 3:28 pmToo much driving to swing up to Shav/Tab, then double back to Lake Como.

Surprised this is not getting more traffic on the site.

Tomorrow looks like a semi rest day. Monday the 12th? Looking forward to seeing how he pulls that off.
In case you were not paying attention:
Humboldt, Crestone, Crestone Needle, Kit Carson, Challanger:
ok, I can imagine that group in a day, mind you I said IMAGiNE
but on top of that, Brent wants to end his day with a hike up Pikes Peak.
Really?

If he can pull off that group plus Pikes, I will be seriously amazed. That’s just nuts.Wentzl wrote: ↑Sat Jul 10, 2021 9:21 pm Surprised this is not getting more traffic on the site.

Just want to say that in addition to this being an awesome feat and incredible progress, it's really cool to see this from someone who sounds like a good husband and father, as well as someone who gives back to the community.
Best of luck, and stay safe!

Looks like Andrew & Brent just crossed paths at the S Colony Lakes TH. I wonder if either of them realized it. Sure is fun to watch what these two are doing!

I noticed that as well - very cool! Looks like Brent is crushing it this morning - already done with Humboldt and very close to Kit Carson!JGiffinPhotog wrote: ↑Mon Jul 12, 2021 12:22 am Looks like Andrew & Brent just crossed paths at the S Colony Lakes TH.

Looks like he successfully completed the Crestones and is now on his way down the Needle. If drives over to do Pikes tonight, legend. Huge day and congrats in order for what he knocked out today.
