I think it's worth noting explicitly that this dude and several from his support crew, who just broke the record finishing at 2:21am and reached the Longs Peak trailhead at 4am yesterday morning, showed up last night at the 14ers.com happy hour at approximately 7:30pm roughly 15 hours after reaching the trailhead.

Here is a video clip of Andrew's finish on Longs last night(...er...this morning??). You'll have to forgive the quality because I am short, I was in the back, it was dark, and it is an iPhone.
It sure was great to see (and meet so many of you for the first time) yesterday.

Great interview on channel 9! But more importantly, a huge congratulations to you Andrew for this incomprehensible achievement and to your crew for keeping up with you and helping you from start to finish. Go Andrew Go!
Very cool What a humble, classy, guy! And well-spoken, polite kid there, too. Bad dad should be proud dad. And the name of this thread, attempt, should be success - or smasheroo.
Another segment for 9 news will be on tonight between 9-10 pm, it is much more detailed and longer, as they only had a few minutes for the live interview. I will post the link if you are interested in watching him... Again? lol
