Wow, what an amazing accomplishment, made even better by what appeared to be an equally amazing support crew and family, and let's not forget Mr. Keizer. A class act, all of you, well done!

Congratulations to Andrew on an amazing feat and kudos to the support team and to Cave Dog. Bad Dad Rocks!
Now try to get some sleep, Andrew. You've looked kinda tired the last couple days.

Huge congratulations to Andrew, his team and all who supported along the way. This is the type of endeavor that fuels all of us in our adventures and goals. I know anytime I think things are getting "tough" on a future climb, I will have this as a reference to keep me going. You know something like, "If I think this is hard, imagine what Andrew went through..." I have been following with my 11-yr old and the impact on him has been pretty incredible. This is the type of feat that changes the concept of what is "possible".

Thanks for the amazing show!!

Congrats to Andrew and all involved! What a major inspiration. Frankly, this whole effort is just mind-bottling. That's the talk around the water cooler in Boulder today.

July 1969: I was awakened in the middle of the night by my parents to watch fuzzy images bounce across the screen of the family's black-and-white television set.



... fast forward 46 years ...
July 2015: I awaken in the middle of the night to watch red dots drop onto the screen of my laptop every ten minutes.



... I've come a long way in four and a half decades ...
Congratulations, Andrew and team!

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, 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.

Andrew - It has been a true privilege to follow your "triumph of high achievement" during these past ten days. Hearty congratulations for the inspirational victory.
