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?

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.

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?

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!

:shock: WOW, JUST WOW! :shock:
=D> Congratulations Andrew! =D> Quite the feat!

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. :iluvbeer:
Century Bound, eventually.
