In 2002, at the age of 23, when most of us are still trying to find our first real job, Ben Clark hit a career high, both literally and figuratively, by becoming the youngest American to summit Mount Everest. He spent the next 10 years pioneering routes in Himalaya. Today Clark lives in Telluride, with his two-year-old son, Charlie, and looks for new challenges, like his next one: Nolan’s 14.
Nolan’s 14 is an unofficial race where super-athletes like Clark try to summit 14 Colorado fourteeners in less than 60 hours. The routes go through Colorado’s Sawatch Range, and vary between 80 to 110 miles. According to the official website, seven people have completed the run since its inception in 1998. Clark’s first two attempts in 2013 both ended because of extreme weather conditions, but this year, he hopes to complete the route after Labor Day. We sat down with Clark to discuss the Nolan's 14 challenge, fatherhood, and life in Colorado.
