Currently in the middle of the Crestone Traverse.

Started this morning at Willow Creek and then did Challenger, KC, Humbolt, Crestone Peak via North Buttress and is now on way to needle.

Looks like he’s through Pikes this morning based of the Garmin link.

These attempts are absolutely mind blowing to me as far as the pace that these can be climbed and linked up.

I wonder at what point sleep/food deprivation becomes a major factor in all of this.

Go Drew! Keep it up!

I'm in Texas and out of internet range so I can't post stats right now.

Drew had a big day yesterday. Although he slowed a bit in the northern sangre traverse compared to his blistering pace last year, he is about 20 minutes ahead of A&As 2024 pace. He beat his 2023 split on Pikes this morning. I'm hoping he's finding the right balance of pace and rest to keep this up to the finish. Good luck Drew!

Drew is still killing it, an impressive effort so far. Now he's off to Antero/Shav/Tab.

in case anyone is missing glens updates as much as I was here's something similar. Looks like Drew made up a few minutes from Tab to Shav and down. Anyone know what's next? Princeton and then the Elks?

Drew, you're halfway done. We're all inspired by your effort. Keep killing it!
