Kyle Ryan's first Mountain Summit Challenge was the MSC 2024. When he first started the MSC he stated he would finish the Beginner and Intermediate Levels and maybe consider trying an Advanced summit. Within a few months Kyle was pushing his limits and completing multiple summits a week. He advanced so quickly that he jumped into the Advanced Level and kept successfully summiting. On September 14, 2024 Kyle completed the MSC 2024, becoming the fifth person in the MSC history to accomplish this. He completed an astonishing 40 summits (113 points) and became one of the top-ranking climbers in the MSC 2024.
