Pikes Peak ”Manitou Incline Edition” Episode 8

Short Rope heads down to Manitou Springs to run the Manitou incline in preparation for his discussion about Pikes Peak with 14er-finisher, Nolan's-14-Completer and Incline-Record-Holder: Warg.  We discuss the Barr Trail, unafraid chipmunks, and summit donuts.  We also learn all about the incline’s history and the various speed records on the old railroad track that gains 2,000 feet in less than a mile.  If you thought the incline is rough, you should hear about the people who do it 13 times in a row and the crazy people who climb the incline more than 500 times a year---which we chat about at length in this episode of the Nonstandard 14er Podcast.
