HIKING -- Ultra-athlete Ben Clark will give a presentation tonight in Spokane on his quest to scale 14 Colorado Fourteeners -- peaks topping 14,000 feet in elevation -- in 60 hours.
The free show starts at 7 p.m. at the Mountain Gear retail store, 2002 N. Division St.
Nolan's 14 is an unofficial race challenge to bag the famous collection of high Rocky Mountains peaks. The challenge goes about 100 miles through the Sawatch Range accumulating 90,000 vertical feet
With a 15 percent finish rate, only seven people have completed the challenge since its inception in 1998.
Clark's first two attempts in 2013 and one this year were ended by severe weather conditions.
This program centers on his imminent next attempt.
