Man will attempt to push peanut up Pikes Peak using contraption taped to nose

MANITOU SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- A man is planning to make history by pushing a peanut up Pikes Peak. Only three people have tried to manage this nutty task.

In honor of Manitou Springs' 150-year celebration of city life, Bob Salem will try to be the first person in the 21st century to push a peanut up Pikes Peak using a contraption taped to his nose.

On Saturday, July 9, Salem will attempt to make peanut-pushing history. He plans to finish no later than Sunday, July 17.

“There is no city like Manitou Springs.” Salem said. “I am excited to be the one to bring around this bit of history to celebrate Manitou Springs’ 150th Celebration. I hope everyone takes the time to visit and indulge in the rich history the Pikes Peak area represents. You won't want to leave.”
