Way to go, Andrew!
It's been really fun to follow this. Way to persevere. That read about your Elk linkup was riveting. So was Snolans. On an unrelated note, I saw Hamilton, the musical, last Friday in Denver (About Alexander Hamilton.) I was thinking that if there were an Andrew Hamilton Musical, it would be 53 hours long with one two-hour intermission, and only the first half would have music.

Nobody climbs 14ers anymore, they’re too crowded.

+1. World records are always set in ideal or nearly ideal conditions. Doesn't take anything away from them. Congrats on an amazing achievement.XterraRob wrote:Andrew, I wouldn't worry about what anyone thinks about the drier winter or anything else for that matter (Significant precipitation in calendar winter is now a requirement?). The internet has always proven itself to be a safe haven for critics who have a lot to say but lack the backbone to say it in person.
You accomplished a lot this winter and anyone who is capable of telling their ego to take a back seat would be extremely impressed by what you've done. Assuming everything goes as planned for your final summit, a huge congratulations to you! Another prime example of what the human body is capable of when pushed to its limits.

And (per FB) he's at the summit!! Congratulations, Andrew!
Aside: does the clock stop at the summit, or back at the trailhead? I know it was discussed earlier but there are a lot of pages in this thread!

Congratulations!! It's a hard earned entrance fee to the Frozen 14ers Club and you didn't make it any easier.
Very inspirational. Now I want to cover some of the same ground (in summer of course) and in much shorter segments (of course)... to better comprehend the challenges you endured. Maybe the Cap-Snow linkup (no way I could also add the Bells), and "Nolans till you drop" (probably dropping after only 5 or 6). Pretty awesome to see what is possible.
