He was in the Cape once so we'll post this here. Gary and Jared, massive congrats on this achievement! 🙌 📷 @garyrobbins __________ @Regrann from @garyrobbins - Adventures were had, and we got it done. Nolan's 14 finishers in 56h39m, with the best adventure partner imaginable. Nolan's is a Colorado mountain route consisting of fourteeen consecutive 14,000ft peaks covering about 100 miles, and it must be completed in under 60 hours to be recognized as an official finisher. There are fewer than twenty ever finishers of the route in the prescribed time. After trudging through fourteen plus hours of fog, wind and rain we found ourselves hypothermic and in a bad state. We actually had some snow flurries on Oxford (8th peak going south to north) and we realized we couldn't safely continue. We made the hard call to drop off the mountain and to call it a day. We skipped Belford (maybe one mile away) because of the state we were in. We dropped about six miles down to a trailhead and had our families and crew meet us there. After warming up and being reminded by my lovely wife that we still had 31 hours left to get this done we made the call to get back in the game. We turned around and headed all the way back up to the saddle we'd dropped off maybe five hours earlier. It rained for another 10+ hours up high but eventually the weather broke, before it broke us, and we were rewarded with a clear night on our third to last peak (La Plata) and a beautiful sunrise while ascending our second to last peak, the highest point in Colorado, Mt. Elbert at 14,433. I shed a tear on our final peak, Mt. Massive because I really couldn't believe what we'd just accomplished. It wasn't what we'd set out to do time wise, and I'm pretty sure we just completed the least scenic version on Nolan's ever, but the sense of accomplishment that overwhelms me today is the absolute definition of euphoria. None of this would have been possible without the family support both Jared and I receive from our incredible wives. Thank you Linda and Mindy, you are both such exceptional women. On the crew side of things the one and only Billy Simpson gave himself to us for three full days and was beyon
