Fat, 44, father of 3 sons, and facing a vasectomy, Mark Obmascik would never have guessed that his next move would be up a 14,000 ft. mountain. But when his 12-year-old son gets bitten by the climbing bug at summer camp, Obmascik can't resist the opportunity for some high-altitude father-son bonding by hiking a peak together. After their first joint climb, addled by the thin air, Obmascik decides to keep his head in the clouds and try scaling all 54 of Colorado's 14,000-ft. mountains, known as the Fourteeners—and to do them in less than one year.
