Re: 2021 Centennials Speed Record Attempt
So cool! What a monster and frankly unsurprising accomplishment from this legend Andrew Hamilton. I hope he makes some sort of video/presentation eventually like Justin did when he did the self-powered FKT. Would love to hear all the stories. Does anyone know the official time? Just over/under 23 days?

Re: 2021 Centennials Speed Record Attempt
Congratulations Andrew and team! Super impressive.




Nobody climbs 14ers anymore, they’re too crowded.
Re: 2021 Centennials Speed Record Attempt
Bravo! Not only a new record but I love how you did it with style, adding extra peaks and sweet routes along the way!

Wow, great job Andrew and Andrea! It's been fun following along. And it looks like your body made it the whole way without choosing to disintegrate! Definitely looking forward to any trip reports and stories.

Re: 2021 Centennials Speed Record Attempt
I think the official time was 22d 16h 54m. Glen will correct me if I'm off. Nobody will ever come close to that time again, IMO. Amazing job Andrew. What am I going to do for the next 3 days until the Olympics start?

Re: 2021 Centennials Speed Record Attempt
Huge congrats Andrew and Andrea! That was incredible to watch! Frankly I think the Olympics will be far less interesting than the last 3 weeks have been!
Looking forward to hearing all about the adventure and what it took to make happen!

I was on Hagerman the day after Andrew summitted looking at the ridgeline to Snowmass in awe of what he is able to do. Andrew is a machine like no other.
Maybe we will see him at the next Happy Hour in Denver? I'll buy him his first round if he is.

Century Bound, eventually.
