2014 14er Speed Record Attempt

[unclegar]

Just topped Humbolt.
Cave Dog = class act
You set the bar high. Anyone that can top it is nothing short of amazing in my book (as is your record time). Too bad we couldn't follow along with a spot back then. Only when following Homie did I realize how amazing the time was.

This show makes working on a Friday night not such a bad deal. Very cool seeing Homie and Cave Dog rooting/supporting Andrew in various ways. Also, another big ups to James, Andrea, Natalie and the rest of the support crew. Go get #20!

I think it would be terrible if Andrew's challenge gets sidetracked because of access to Culebra of all things. So, I spent part of the day calling any numbers I could find for people associated with Cielo Vista Ranch.

The definition of true sportsmanship here. Wow.

[Tornadoman]

Based on the latest location, it looks like the team is in position for the Culebra attempt with a 6 a.m. start!

Looks like Bad Dad is back on schedule to begin Day 4! That has to be a big relief after playing catch up in Days 2 & 3. Hopefully, the lack of sleep compared to his original plan doesn't become an issue. SJ Ron

Man, one of the few days I wished I had that Culebra reservation

djorie - crossing Avenue in the dark sure must've been sketchy (as per recent pix). Hopefully the snow was still a bit soft, and not refrozen ice. Also going back up Columbia Point/KittyCat, esp in the dark, is not trivial either. Relieved to see he made it back over Humboldt with no issues.

Go A-Hammer!

Wow, he is crushing Culebra at ~2k'/hr! If he keeps this up he'll summit 1/2 hr ahead of schedule.

Wow this is amazing. Many, many orders of magnitude above what seems possible.

Does anyone know the planned time for Blanca and Ellingwood?

Wow this is amazing. Many, many orders of magnitude above what seems possible.

Does anyone know the planned time for Blanca and Ellingwood?

The plan is to start at Lake Como TH around 11 am, then Little Bear-Blanca-Ellingwood-Lindsey, finishing at the Huerfano TH around 11:30 pm.

I think his main goal is to make interesting constellations with those blue dots. He is going for Small bear now. http://www.sorosy.com/picture.phtml?fileid=385" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Looks like a navigation error getting to the ranch gate (see 5:08am waypoint) ....but since it was pre-opening, this wouldn't have cost Andrew any time.

Can somebody tell me exactly where he is now and estimate how far from jaws 1? Thanks! Tracker doesnt work great on cell
