Re: Self Supported 14er Record Attempt
Hey Dan, You are a true inspiration and testament to what the mind and body can achieve when pushed to its limits. I, and the great many others that have followed along the last two weeks, have been forever emboldened to push harder with our own physical goals and find peace in our own headspace. Extreme gratitude for showing all of us in this community what is possible. Congratulations!
Re: Self Supported 14er Record Attempt
Mega job Dan! I'm sure that the planning, training, and sacrifice took many months of dedication and motivation that few of us can comprehend. An inspiration for sure.
Re: Self Supported 14er Record Attempt
Congratulations Dan! Amazing perseverance. Thanks for the fun each morning checking on your progress.

Congrats Dan, it has been amazing to follow. I also agree with the quote above, it really helps put it all together with people who done similar missions.kman wrote: ↑Tue Jul 19, 2022 7:27 pm Also, big thanks to Jorts, John Prater, thebeave7, andrewhamilton, glenmiz (and others), for your insight, information, spreadsheets, personal anecdotes, and knowledge in trying to analyze and breakdown Dan’s strategy and movements during these last two weeks. It was akin to having play-by-play commentators at the Olympics or some other major sporting event, making it easier for the layperson to fully appreciate what’s taking place.
Consecutive months with at least one 13er or 14er, 73 months

Congratulations Dan! This is absolutely incredible! My favorite part was after you did Capitol and Snowmass, you were like my knees hurt and then you climbed Pyramid in three hours nbd lol.
I loved following along every day and watching your blue dot keep chugging along at ludicrous speeds. Thanks to everybody else who commentated and made this truly fun to participate in from home.

Re: Self Supported 14er Record Attempt
From one Dan to another, you are the Man! Awesome accomplishment . Was fun watching your progress. Let us know if you plan on attending any of the Happy Hours or Fall Gathering, I’d love to shake your hand.
Century Bound, eventually.
Re: Self Supported 14er Record Attempt
What an accomplishment, you’re my hero!
Re: Self Supported 14er Record Attempt
Congratulations Dan!
It was great to meet you at the finish - holy crap, running....?! Also, it was a pleasure to meet your wife and parents. Although not a SUPPORT team, they provided plenty of support through the tough times. Forest, you are a big stud and inspiration to fathers everywhere to get their kids out on the trail. David, it was nice to talk with you in the car and on the trail; hope you can spend more time on the trail in the future.
Here are the final numbers. I've left the start time at 1:36am on 7/5. Truly spectacular display of tenacity! 14 days, 17 hours 36 minutes
Final time is at 3000' mark on Longs Peak Trail
