I'd rather propose on stage at a Sugar Ray concert...
Nobody climbs 14ers anymore, they’re too crowded.

As a peak bagger who was proposed to by another peak bagger on a freaking 6er of all mountains (and not even on the summit!), I'm coming in to agree with this sentiment. It's a mountain that's been incredibly meaningful to our relationship and I really do enjoy going to the spot where we got engaged and the spot on the other side of the mountain where we had our first date (also not even the summit... :? ) regularly, and I'm happy it's a place we should still be able to go when he's too old to keep up with me. Special to her/you will matter so much more in the long run.
