Congratulations !! I am 59 yrs old and have been hiking and technical climbing since 1973. I have climbed the Diamond Face on Longs other climbs in RMNP..Lumpy Ridge...Eldorado Canyon...Yosemite..Canada on Ice...Thank You for your excellent filming with narrative and no hectic spinning or jerking. Presently I am not able to hike or climb due to severe rhuematoid arthritis...so I feel like I am in the mountains with you. I also was a rock and ice climbing guide with CMS out of Estes Park years ago. Thanks Again for your Adventure Sharing 😁🏞🏕

I have been watching for 3 years! The beautiful flowers the great scenery and the “Welcome back KZbin nation” into is something that I loved every time I clicked on the video. I live in Colorado and being able to spend my time outdoors in the mountains is time that I have and always will Cherish! Mr Foor it’s been a great journey! 58 14ers is something that not many people in this world have yet to or will ever get to experience and I am glad you have shared this journey with us. It brings tears to my eyes to know that our favorite hiking professor won’t be uploading anymore new 14ers videos, but also makes me very happy for you and very happy that we can see and realize that anything is possible. You taught us to battle through pain and hard times(with your injury last year as well as your mother passing away) you also taught us to enjoy what we have cause we are only in this earth for a little while. You have also healed me as a person, your videos brung happiness to my heart and also brought me home to the mountains each video and I thank you for that. I hope this is just the beginning and hope completing the 58 14ers task opens up new possibilities for you. Once again outstanding job, and thanks for bringing us along for the epic journey!

D.r. Foor! I never got to congratulate you on your Finisher accomplishment, until now. I Wanted to say "Thank You" for bringing your adventures into living rooms like mine. Most of all, Thank you for being a great inspiration. I'll never forget the day I ran across your YT video of you doing both "Crestones" in one day. was in awe and have been inspired ever since then. Living in Texas, it's been a challenge learning what it takes to do these 14ers, but I'm on my way in my quest....and partly thanks to you, Dr. Foor. Learned so much from your videos and have always appreciated your humility and willingness to help when asked. Extending a sincere and heartfelt congratulations to you. Most of all, proud to call you my friend 🇺🇸🙌🏻 #FoorYourSuccess

Lance, I really appreciate your comment. If there's one takeaway I want for all: extraordinary adventures and accomplishments can happen to ordinary people. Through training, hard work, physical and mental preparation, there is a joy that can be achieved in which even for myself, never thought was possible.

The journey of 58 peaks began with a single step, probably many years ago, before you even knew you'd be climbing mountains. What a journey it must have been to have placed you at such awesome heights (both literally and figuratively.) Heartfelt congratulations, Brandon! We each have our own personal triumphs and I know this one is very dear to you. Wishing you many more! P.s. Happy to see Steve came out of "retirement" to share in the celebration with you.

Brandon, you have no idea how much joy and inspiration your wonderful videos have given to so many of us, especially us fellow 14erers. (Wife and I are going to Bryce Canyon in November - purely driven by your video there!) Would you please, please do a video on (1) your gear choices and lessons learned, and (2) your training and lessons learned - they'd be invaluable. Still trying to fathom that four-peak 50 mile ultra you did a few weeks ago . . . good Lord. Many, many thanks for all you do!

I have a suggestion for a big (in vertical and miles) hike of Mount Evans. This is probably beyond my abilities at this stage of my life, but well within the range of what you have done before. This would be to summit Mount Evans from the Camp Rock Trailhead in the Mount Evans State Wildlife Area, via the Beaver Meadows and Summit Flats trails (which would take you to Summit Lake, from which you could choose any of a several to the summit. I hope you will post a video of this route some day. The Camp Rock Trailhead is at about 9,000 feet elevation, so a bit over 5,000 feet of vertical by this route. I have hiked the Beaver Meadows trail a couple of times, and it has become a favorite. I think your mileage would be 10-12 one way. So a big hike, but you have done bigger.

'Born to Run' came to mind when you mentioned the Zion run, but who knows ;-). Even the marmot got in on the "last 14er" action with a good pose. Congrats on your MASSIVE accomplishment.

Congratulations on the achievement! I've been going on camping/hiking trips with friends out to Colorado the past 3 years, and first stumbled onto your channel by watching your Manitou Springs Incline hike while prepping for my first trip (went looking on your channel for it and I can't seem to find it. Not sure if you took the video down, or my memory is serving me incorrectly). It's been fun seeing the beauty of the state, while also being able to use your videos as a reference for planning trips! I have 5 14ers under my belt (Blanca, Belford, Oxford, La Plata, and Longs) and was hoping to get Capital in this year, but decided on not traveling with COVID and all. I'm sure being away for a longer time will make my next trip out West even more enjoyable though! Looking forward to what's to come! Cheers from Wisconsin

Looking forward to watching more of your hikes! Where ever they may be! Speaking of the willows, why do they get such a bad wrap? every video I watched about the sawtooth traverse always bitched about how they refuse to do the willows lol! From what you showed here I don't seem to understand the sentiment most have! They make it seems like its a complete drag! One of the reasons why I opted out of doing the beirstat/evans combo via the sawtooth, in favor of the decalibron, when i was there a couple weeks back!

The willows are fine. Probably because it's an "out of the way" route to Evans and if not prepared, you can easily lose your way and get quite muddy. Congrats on your 14er success Eddie. I know more is to come!

I’ll also say you picked probably the best time of year to do that route. I did the sawtooth traverse and came down that in July and I felt like I was in the Everglades with how deep the mud was.

Been wearing shorts for years. The compression socks significantly reduced ankle twists. It changed the game.

Thank you for the lovely comment. Favorite has to be Evans because it was my last one and I celebrated with friends. Yet, if you're looking for a wonderful first 14er to hike: I suggest Huron. :-)
