Colin O'Brady has gone were few Portland Timbers fans have gone before.
In late May, the Portland native completed the Explorers Grand Slam, a challenge to scale the highest points of each of the seven continents—otherwise known as the Seven Summits—in a world record 139 days, besting the previous record by nearly two months.
O'Brady also set a record that will likely never be duplicated: he raised a Portland Timbers scarf on each of the tallest peaks of every continent on Earth.
“When I was taking off for this journey I knew I wanted to have a piece of home with me at all times to represent [Portland], and I thought what better way than the Timbers – a team that I love and embrace and who just won a championship – as a way of representing home and representing such an awesome sports franchise.
