Now I have Andrew and Brent to follow on gps. Along with watching the Tour de France. What a cool couple of weeks. Good luck and be safe.

I hope you have good weather and have good luck on your attempt. I love following along on these types of adventures. If you don't reach your A goal, I hope you keep going anyways.

Brent's away! Making great time, just now on sunlight summit block. Has a little over 4 hours to get to the train so should be able to do that no problem! Excited to see him progress through this ambitious goal and with all these attempts I watch I will be very happy to see him safely aboard the train at 1030. It's even more fun watching a buddy go for this!

Looks like he's got about 3.5 miles left to the train and only 45 minutes to get there before 10:30. Cutting it a little close but its understandable after such a big morning.

Regardless of which goal is met, will enjoy following this adventure! Best of everything to you Brent!

Met Brent at SilverPick trailhead yesterday. Nice guy, good spirits and moving strong on day 2. Knocked off the Wilson group, started at 7:00 a.m. and driving on the Handies group by 6:00 p.m.

Brent's having a great start to his adventure it looks like! Nearly done with San Juans on day 3 and looks like he is nearing summit of Wetterhorn right now so he is even getting ahead of his initial schedule as he didn't have that planned for today. So cool seeing him grind em out and doing these big days! Hoping he can keep the groove going all the way through the finish. Go Brent Go!!!

The chafe is real. Saving those for… Quandary. Guess I won’t meet my D goal.

Wow - he's doing awesome so far - two peaks ahead of schedule! It's great to see another dad crushing it.
I wonder what he'll do this afternoon? Just get in position for the Blanca Group tomorrow, or try to add on something else, like maybe Shavano and Tabeguache?
