Anna Frost Interview

Last week Anna Frost and Missy Gosney made history as the first women to complete Nolan’s 14, a series of 14 fourteen thousand peaks in Colorado. The ladies spent just shy of two and half days covering the 100-ish miles in which they climbed about 90,000 feet and slept for half an hour total.  Fresh off the adventure (and not too far off her Hardrock win), Anna sat down with us to share the details. How, why, what, and wow, was Missy Goseny a heckuva partner!

Interesting to note was Anna’s mindset throughout the entire adventure, whether she’ll do it again, and how she responds to the challenges about the details of the FKT.

Anna, Ethan, and I also talk about being a brand and whether other pros will be adopting this route in the future.

Ethan and I also discuss the USATF team scoring proposal and trekking poles.
