To the growing body of myths surrounding Manitou Incline excess and adventure, Greg Cummings adds the tale of a rare odyssey.
Think of him as the guy who marched to the firmament and back.
A day before the Incline closed in August for repairs, the Colorado Springs resident says he quietly made history with his 1,400th Incline ascent in fewer than 12 months - a combined elevation gain of roughly 2.8 million vertical feet, or about 530 miles.
That's more than twice the altitude of the International Space Station.
