Tomer did his part on the support crew as well, helping them dodge the weather early on in the run.

Amazing! Had so much fun following along. Your ability to link peaks is amazing and have had a blast for nearly a decade watching you guys do these amazing efforts. Sad I won’t be able to follow your dots anymore. Congrats

Congratulations A&A&Team.

I think this record will stand for more than a long time. Man will have to evolve into something else.

His 249k vert is about 15k short of outer space! That's absolutely ridiculous
This has been a blast to watch and truly inspiring. It makes me want to go climb all the mountains!
+1 on doing it with style. Gash ridge to the double Blanca-LB traverse...on day 17. That is stuff of legends!

climbing just short of outer space? now he has something in common with Jeff Bezos.
Bezos launched at around 9:11 a.m. ET from a site in the west Texas desert southeast of El Paso. After liftoff, the New Shepard rocket accelerated toward space at three times the speed of sound. At an altitude of 250,000 feet, the capsule separated, taking Bezos and his crew to the edge of space.
and yet, only one is a famous billionaire who was plastered all over the news yesterday. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Does anybody know his lowest elevation while hiking? And where was it?

Andrew, what an incredible accomplishment to add to an already impressive resume.

As others have said, some of your linkups are quite the feat singly, but within the greater context of your record they are really something special. I enjoyed watching your progress, and I appreciated that you and Andrea made an effort to promote LNT as well as the extra efforts to obtain legal access to the DeCaLiBro peaks.

I hope you enjoy your well earned rest.
