This is a preview of a member exclusive premium article.
After months of hardship and adventure, Shawn "Pepper" Forry and Justin "Trauma" Lichter have reached the southern terminus of the Pacific Crest Trail. Thought to be the first duo to ever complete the PCT in the winter, Forry and Lichter showed determination in the face of frostbite, storms, and the miles after miles of trudging from Canada to Mexico. The duo were greeted by family, friends, and PCT enthusiasts who were on hand to celebrate this special moment. Their accomplishment is also great press for the ultralight backpacking community.

"Namga Parbat and K2 are the two 8000 m peaks that have never been climbed – there are a total of 14 8000 m peaks in the world."
You might want to find a fact-checker, because this statement is wrong.

Wow BPL forums’ very own Dan Durston.

Looks like the missing words are "in winter". But yeah, glaringly wrong the way it's written.
Yes, I messed that up and left "in the winter" out…was this what you were referring to? I found that there are 14 8000m peaks and K2 and Nanga Parbat are the two that have never been climbed in the winter.
Eric, maybe Ryan is looking for a new writer and fact-checker. Who proofread this?

I wrote it and proofread it…yeah I definitely missed a few things this time. Is the info about the 8000m peaks still wrong or has it been corrected?
Eric- it's correct.
Bob- Give him a break. This isn't the New York Times.
"Give him a break. This isn't the New York Times."
It's not even the Bozeman Bulletin.

No one is forcing you to read it Bob :-P
