From what I have gathered (this could be incorrect?), the youngest person to summit all of the contiguous US 14ers did so at 27 (Brian Kalet). See contiguous US 14ers page on SP. I have heard of a few others that have gotten close to lowering this age, but haven't seen any confirmation of this. Feel free to prove me wrong here if you know otherwise
I realized late last year that I am very close to completing the contiguous US list, and I am 22 until midsummer of 2022. All of the CA Sierra 14ers are on this list. I figure I want to make these summits anyway, so I might as well do it all at once. With that, I'm looking for some pointers on combining some of the routes.
North Palisade, Sill, Middle Palisade, and Split are all on the list. Doing these individually seems nuts since they're closer together. Can anyone offer guidance on feasibility to link these routes? I am comfortable with single days of 20 miles and 7k vert, and while I have done days much larger than that (Rainier in 1 day), I would prefer to avoid that if possible. I am good with a Bivvy for a night if the terrain allows, and am okay with up to 5.4 unroped climbing if necessary.
I plan to do Russel/Whitney/Muir as a combo day trip as well. The rest, I'll do the 'standard' routes for unless there's better options. Feel free to throw any relevant thoughts in here, happy to hear about route opinions and tips! My timeframe will be a few weeks in June/July. Thanks all, I appreciate it! I've gotten tons of valuable info from this site already.
