I've been mapping out a thru-hike style trip to the Sawatch 13ers for around a year now. My Caltopo gives 750 miles, 270k feet elevation gain, 15 14ers, and 118 13ers. In around a week I'll be starting out of Leadville to give it a go and am pretty excited!
Of course, what looks good in spreadsheets and maps can often be much harsher once the shoes hit the dirt, so not sure if I'm likely to complete the whole thing first try. I hope to at least complete Holy Cross Wilderness and get a feel for what kind of training I would need before a future attempt. Or keep going if I'm feeling like it's reasonable to keep on keeping on. Here's hoping!
