The doctor stuff kills me. He loses all credibility with it. Even the Physicians I know that use this board don't call themselves Doctor SoAndSo on the board or in real life.

Jon Kedrowski is claiming 364 days. :-k

Problem #1: If he started on June 4th and finished June 3rd of the following year*, that's 365 days. June 4th to June 4th would be 366 because June 4th was done twice.

"If you build a straight fence 30 meters long with posts spaced 3 meters apart, how many posts do you need?
The intuitive answer 10 is wrong. The fence has 10 sections, but 11 posts."

Problem #2:
2016 was a *Leap Year for which he left out Leap Day, February 29th 2016.

Thus, he is claiming 366 days as being "less than a calendar year."

It seems that this thread may have actually accomplished something . . . ? We should all be very proud.

Based on his super defensive response, I think he knows about this thread, calling us all haters.

Look, his accomplishments are great and I could only dream of doing a fraction of them, but it seems lame to be at that level of climbing and skiing and fitness, and not be completely honest about what you've done. Even more so since he made it so public. I think he needs to rename his web domain, no?

I for one am 10x more stoked to "watch" Eric on his go at the 14ers record in a few days, 'cause Eric is a standup dude.
