Re: AT finisher Climbing Rob
Big congrats Bob! Met you on Denali and a few times on Pikes Peak over the years. Spoke to your wife once after she climbed the Y Couloir and I asked her how you were doing and why you hadn't posted on this forum in a while. She said you were well, and that you were back East, on the AT. Nice to see that you have completed that and no doubt have a lifetime of memories of your experiences there! Awesome!
