My 14er record attempt

[habaceeba]

Is he hanging out at Bongo Billy's now?

That's what I was thinking.

Thank you Homie for taking us on this epic journey with you. We look forward to hearing your stories trickle in. Heal strong and fast and get some rest.

I was at Denny Creek for the end today, and can honestly say Homie gave it everything he had. In the end his leg was just not going to finish off the journey, so sadly he called just after summitting Yale with Andy. He's in a great place now, great spirits, eating/drinking massive amounts at Bong Billys in BV and just enjoying some much deserved R&R.

Crap, my feet generally look worse than that after doing a single climb.

Well Played!

Just an observation. It looks like Homie's shins and possibly feet are pretty swollen right now- as they should be after hiking 41 14ers in 6 days. I'm guessing he's found a whole new level of exhaustion.

He's surprisingly alert right now, but you are correct that everything from about mid-quad down is horribly swollen, and ultimately the reason for calling it.

Simply wow!!

I've been one of the many closely following this all week and have been glued to the computer. As others have already stated you've given everyone such an inspiration to so many people. For myself, when I've worked out this week I've thought of the pain you must be in after the miles and elevation you've put in and that made me try a little harder and go a little faster. You've also inspired me to push myself with my trail running goals and I thank you for that. Well done and thank you for letting the world watch your amazing feat this last week, it's been fun!! Congratulations on your amazing accomplishment!

Absolutely amazing effort Homie! Because of your efforts this week, I (like most of us glued to our computer screens) have re-evaluated what I'm capable of and, as a result, my tick list has grown substantially Heck, even this morning when all I had time for was a sprint workout and my legs were screaming and I was pretty damn sure I was about to puke, I thought of what you have been going through and cranked out two more. What you've accomplished in this endeavor is admirable to say the least...thanks for allowing us to have the most unproductive work week ever! Rest, recuperate and...have a beer?

Without shin splints, homie breaks Cave Dogs record by a decent margin. Just sayin...

I think Homie gained quite the (VERY WELL DESERVED) following... He will be a celebrity in the mountains now, might have to hide behind marmots from all the climbing paparazzi
