Guy Becomes Fourth Person to Push a Peanut Up Pikes Peak With His NOSE

A Colorado Springs man successfully pushed a peanut all the way to the summit of Pikes Peak with his nose.

Bob Salem reached the top of Pikes Peak Friday morning. He broke the previous verified record for the feat – completing it in seven days. The record was eight days.

Salem is the fourth person to summit America’s Mountain this way.

To avoid the heat — and the distractions — Salem said he did most of his pushing after dark.

He estimates that he used nearly two dozen peanuts throughout the week. Some fell into cracks between rocks on the trail and he wasn’t able to retrieve them.
