I've climbed exactly one 14-er -- Pikes Peak -- during the "Pikes Peak Ascent" half-marathon race in 2016. I survived.
In 2021, I attempted the full marathon, which involves climbing to the peak, then turning around and running back down, but I hadn't entirely reckoned with the toll long Covid had taken, and I was unable to reach the top.

My climbing plan is unaffected by this news; sill zero.
