Thanks, yall! It has been a great ride! Finishing on Jagged with Becca, who I've shared over half of these summits with, was the perfect finisher. I will never get over how lucky we are to live in a state that has such phenomenal access to the high country without always requiring double digit mile approaches. Mountain climbing is THE best hobby (after snowboarding).

Thanks Jon, I had a blast with you and Maya on Hagerman!

Bill and Kate, climbing Dallas with yall, Robin and Davis was a blast! Gotta give credit to Davis for lugging the rope up the mountain.

I appreciate ya Brad! Our day with Becca on Thunder Pyramid was definitely a highlight of the journey. Thunder was one of the big "scary" ones and I am stoked to have had some awesome partners for that one.

Brian, you're too kind! I had a great time shredding Dyer with you, and Horseshoe with you and Charlie... and Aetna with Becca!

Heather, as far as what's next: definitely Bicents, then going to slowly work on the ranked 13ers. I want to spend a lot more time in the Flatirons, Eldo, and RMNP, and climb on gear more. Maybe raise a kid to come along suffering in the mountains with us?

Eddie, in terms of favorite or memorable climbs... Jagged is definitely my favorite, with close seconds tied between Wham Ridge (x2) and the Ellingwood Ledges on Crestone Needle.

I want to give a huge thanks to Bill for building out and maintaining this page, and all the amazing humans in the 14ers.com community that have posted TRs, CRs, TH conditions, and info in the forums; and for all the folks that have put me in my place when I was s**t talking on the forums over the years ;) Climbing mountains has been a perfect outlet to keep me from diving too far into alcoholism, sportballism, and lazyism, and yall are all a part of that. Climb on!

Nice work to you eskermo! I’m also stoked to share the finishing date with you as well! Looks like you have some great goals set up! I’ll keep an eye out for you on the 13ers!
