Congrats to Andrew and all those who have supported him the past 9 days. What an amazing accomplishment. Thanks for the pictures for those of us who couldn't be there.
So much fun to watch.

Inspiring. I'd love to shake the hands of the whole Bad Dad team if, after some well-earned rest, they would make a public appearance...one of the 14er HHs?

Congratulations from Indiana. So impressive, and even more so after coming so close last year. To beat a fifteen year old record by nearly a day, wow.

Congratulations Andrew!

What an honor it has been to follow your progress as you succeeded in obliterating a record that many - myself included - thought never would fall. The endurance and persistence you've shown displays the strength of the human spirit pushed to its limits. While none of us can imagine even attempting the incredible mental and physical feat you've just completed, your journey over the past 9 days has inspired us. I'm no Andrew Hamilton, but maybe I can push a little faster - a little further - in my own endeavors knowing what you have done.

Thank you.

My feelings exactly. Well said. I'm so inspired. And that photo with the kids made me a little teary eyed.

Kudos to his entire support team, as this was a team effort that couldn't have been pulled off without every one of your efforts !

What a moment it must have been at 11,255 last night. Everything said above rings true. When I think of my own goals in a week for an ordinary hiker from Ohio, I am moved by the human spirit even more than the physical man. When I am pushing myself I will have Andrew's back - squarely in my sights far up ahead and will try not to let his inspiration fall short in my own steps and my own modest journey in the Colorado mountains. As someone else here said, I will be privileged to stand in some places that you have left your footprints on.Thank you, Andrew; we are all blessed to have lived these extraordinary days through you!!!
