Incredible! Makes finishing the 14ers look lame in comparison. :D =D>

Just wondering, do you have robotic knees?

WELL DONE! =D> Way to stick to that MONSTER list until completion. I probably would've given up halfway through. Must be an incredible feeling ... because it is one hell of an accomplishment.

CONGRATULATIONS!

The more 13ers I climb, the more impressive finishing this list is! Heartfelt kudos from a fellow 13er list junkie, Steve! I've seen your name on many obscure 13er registers. I think you said you were working on the named unranked 13ers as well. How much do you have left on that list?

I second all that. Until I realized he's climbed all the CO 13ers, I'd feel even more satisfied with my taste in peaks if I saw his name in the register.

Thanks for the nice messages! Here are a few self-serving, boastful comments.

Most sincere and heartfelt congratulations!!

This is the type of accomplishment, requiring an unwavering and moreover undying, long term commitment, that seems to show the rest of us a sense of humility.

I wish you a lifetime of mountain adventures.
