Gregg left Leadville, CO to begin this journey.
"I am doing this to embrace an opportunity to learn. I want to explore the land, and more importantly the cultures of the world. South America presents a challenge unrivaled by most mountain chains of the world, and at the same time allows for the chance to learn from some of the most interesting and remote cultures that still exist on earth today. On the AT I learned a lot about who I am and what I am capable of, I can't wait to further both of those understandings."
