Actor Kevin Bacon and Twitchy founder Michelle Malkin separately tackled the infamous Incline in Manitou Springs, Colo., this week. The trail gains over 2,000 feet of elevation in less than one mile, topping out at about 8,550 feet.

At the top, Malkin was so excited she tweeted her selfie upside down.

Bacon was 11 minutes faster than Malkin, but both should be proud of their accomplishment.

Then there’s Brandon Stapanowich, who ascended and descended the Incline 22 times  in 24 hours.

Congrats Brandon! 24 hrs, 22 summits, ~44 miles, ~46,000 ft gain! World record set! @UDhydrates @PearlIzumiRun #ouch pic.twitter.com/jUzZrqk8QU
