Awesome, best of luck with all those peaks. I'll be watching the progress, at least the California snowpack is working in your favor (extremely low).

It will be exciting tracking this as it unfolds. We bumped into John Prater a few months after his attempt and he was still recovering from the ordeal. You've done this before so you know what you're up against. If I didn't have to work I could see doing them all in a summer! I like your summary of the record transitioning from semi supported hiking to well supported ultra running. You are part of an elite few to seriously consider this. Stay safe.

Good luck. These conditions are not easy (except on the Sangres)!

Good luck Andrew! Homie and I have spent many hours discussing the pros/cons of starting at various times of the season and I think you are making a good call, taking maximum advantage of daylight, likelihood of better pre-Monsoon weather if you play your cards right, perhaps the snow can be an advantage as you stated. Thanks for including this community in your adventure, I'll be following closely.

Early summe you hav 15 hours of daylight, less monsoons, and smaller crowds.

Oh no, this means my work productivity has just gone down the drain. Good luck!

This will be fun to watch. Good luck, Andrew! Maybe you can be the Tim Duncan of 14er speed records.

Best of luck Andrew. It was all kinds of fun watching this unfold last summer - looking forward to seeing it play out again.

Awesome! Good luck Andrew! I am coming to CO to climb some 14ers and will be available to help (if needed). Unfortunately there isn't a lot of overlap and I won't be available until near the end starting June 26. Your crew can PM me if it turns out I could be of assistance.

I am familiar with the CA routes including some of the giant linkups. I'm happy to discuss those but it appears from reading your website you have already talked with the best source! I would be wary of the Palisade Traverse day with the western ascent/descent of Middle Pal. That day could turn into an epic...

Be safe, have fun, and good luck!
