Erin Ton holds over 200 FKTs (Fastest Known Times). In 2023, she returned to the mountains where she first hiked with her family as a child, and summited 57 of Colorado’s Fourteeners in 14 days, smashing the previous record. She stands out on the trails not only for her speed, but also for her attire, often hiking in high heels!
Erin and Cam cover highlights from Erin’s unique experiences like hiking mountains in heels, her transition from law school to trail life, and her drive to inspire other women athletes. It also touches on reflections of fulfillment and future plans.
