I finished on Pikes, which I had been up at about 16 months old with my parents. Saved that one for last so they could join me on the summit. The upper photo is dad and myself in '76 (taken by mom), the lower one is the finisher group shot, Interesting to compare the sign from then to now as well, you can even make out some of the same rocks near my legs. :D

PIkes with friends/family as well. We rented out the cabin at Barr Camp. Good times...
Mike, I wonder if my daughter can make a similar comparison someday with this picture?
