Jason's Attempt at the RMS
On June 7th, 2023, Jason Heyn took his first steps on a 3-month-long excursion to complete
the first-ever Rocky Mountain Slam entirely by foot. With no official trail this voyage
would include bushwhacking, service roads, highways, and a bit (a lot) of unnecessary
mileage.
After completing all of the 14'ers in Colorado and all of the 13'ers in Wyoming, Jason was
hit by multiple snowstorms while camping in the Beartooth Range in Montana. On September
25th, he hopped into the first car he had set foot in for 3 months and hitched a ride to the
nearest town, then checked himself into the hospital to treat his frostbitten feet.
