Erin Ton’s decision to initially not disclose that she’d skipped one of Colorado’s 58 14ers en route to setting a self-proclaimed speed record drew criticism.
“There’s a super long history of people climbing the Colorado 14ers for speed records, and it’s always included Culebra because that’s one of the 14ers. Even though it’s on private land, there still is access,” Peter Bakwin, a fixture on the Colorado trail running scene and co-founder of Fastest Known Time, said. “In fact, the logistics around that access has always been one of the major logistical factors in the 14ers record.
administrator, wrote in a Facebook post. “I sincerely hope she reconsiders her approach in doing the remarkable things and embraces a greater sense of humility, respect and the importance of a community.”On a sunny Wednesday in September, more than a month after Ton had become a lightning rod for criticism in her sport, she put on a pink dress and a pair of heels to climb a mountain outside of Boulder.
“I try to avoid confrontation as much as possible,” Ton said. “I haven’t done any harm to anybody. ... And since then, I would say I’ve grown a much thicker skin.Ton is used to people making assumptions about her. She’s known to be fiercely independent and outspoken, happy-go-lucky and free-spirited. But she hasn’t always had that confidence. She dealt with musculoskeletal issues as a teenager and hit a late growth spurt.
Ton has already summited more than 90 of Colorado’s highest mountains, and she’s climbed every 14er but Culebra in the Lower 48 states — including 57 in Colorado, 15 in California and Mount Rainier in Washington. She accrued more than 1.3 million feet of vertical gain in 2022 alone. It’s made all the more impressive by the fact that Ton did not get into the sport until she went on a recreational hike with her father and sister on one of Colorado’s 14ers in 2018.
