Another Finisher!!!!

[Skeeter Westgate]

Not to toot my own horn, but I finally finished! Yesterday, amid deteriorating weather, I completed my quest to climb and stand on the summit of all 0 of Colorado's 15ers!!! It was a monumental task trying to do them all in one season, but I did it. Many hours and days went into the planning and execution of this endeavor. I have many people to thank, here and elsewhere on the web....you know who you are. I poured over maps, consulted great mountaineers, trained my buns off and loaded up on Gu.

I'm not one to boast an over-inflated ego, but I'm in the process of writing a book about the experience. It will basically be a collection of the trip reports I wrote for each peak afterwards...so it could be somewhat wordy. In fact, I am pretty sure that I'm the first person to ever do this. I hope I have inspired you all to hike in my boot steps, and set your own goal of climbing all 0 of the CO 15ers.

My next goal has been set a bit higher, for the 16ers are calling my friends! See you in the hills.

You're not the first. I've done all the 15ers as well. And the 16ers. Get a move on.

You come and talk to me once you've SKIED all of them.

Skeeter, dude...
Congrats! But such high altitude endeavors are probably better shared with the wolves on mountainproject.com, i.e. those who eat their young (and crushed glass) for b-fast. Climb on!

I like mountain project.com, but I have a little trouble taking it seriously.
Take the D1 route on Longs for example. What the f is 5.12a?
By the way, I'm a sissy biotch when it comes to trad climbing.

15ers,16ers----dang----better get pair of crampons this year------looking for additional energy also

[Daniel Trugman]

Don't be hating on MP! Very entertaining forums. I remember like 3 weeks ago someone was trying to sell some gear which apparently was too expensive and it turned into a six-way verbal jousting session.

And my take on ratings: 5.12a < 5.11d < 5.11- OW

I've climbed all of the 14ers in 47 states.

I've climbed all of the 14ers in 47 states.

Dang, you are one State ahead of me!

[Jon Frohlich]

I've climbed all of the 14ers in 47 states.

Oh yeah? I've climbed all the 14ers in at least 10 countries. Maybe 20 or 30, I stopped counting at a certain point.
