Go get it you two! Recharge the batteries and get those bunnies going. You can do this!

We're all watching and sending our energy to you both during this great endeavor you have chosen, but you guys are the ones doing the battle. Keep that inner strength, that belief in yourselves, your training, all those incredible accomplishments, and all the big dreams, in your heart. And of course, remember, it doesn't always get worse.

“It is not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done them better. The credit belongs to the person who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, if he wins, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”

Go Andrea! Show all these boys how it's done!

15 hours to complete KC, Challenger, Humboldt, Crestone Peak and Needle AFTER what they did yesterday is nuts. And it was “slow” for them. Truly in awe of their performance and the sheer guts they both have. You guys are rockstars. Stay safe and I hope you are catching some Zs in the inevitably too short car ride to the next one!

So. A2, consider what you have done in the last 29 hours. You've climbed nine 14ers including, arguably, four of the toughest. Now two hours to your next trailhead. So, refuel and sleep. Love you both!

These two blow my mind. GET IT GUYS!

Wow, you have a lot behind you already. Amazing. You can do this!

Day 4: Today was a hard day. It’s one of those days in the record that makes or breaks you and we are so glad it is behind us. Thank you to all of you who reached out, for all your encouragement, your kind words, and support. Thanks to our friends who meet us on the trail when we need them. We hear you and it lifts our spirits to know we have so many people behind us and it helps us through. Seriously we cannot thank you enough! are tired, our legs feel like they don’t want to work, and our spirits are at a low. Apologies for the lack of pictures as a result.

We know the crestones can break us, but we will not give up and A2 continues to press on. As Andrea said “Im beat from 3 days of technical climbing and I’m ready for just walking a trail”.

The mountains are relentless. But yesterday you guys passed through the Sangres and that is no small feat. I hope Pikes Peak and the next batch of mountains give you a second wind. Inspiring to follow your adventure. Thanks to the crew for the hard work also!

You don't need to look backwards or forward. Be present in the moment. With your steps. With your breathing. With yourselves. With that which gives you life. And know that in some way this entire community is with you. Draw strength from within and from us. Now go and smash another day.

Impressive work! I was in the Sangres for a few days this weekend looking at the Blanca/Crestone groups and hoping you two were still fighting the fight! Well done so far, and keep it up! "Just" some mindless Sawatch wandering for a little bit for you guys!
