ElDChopper is a Finisher
With a summit of Culebra on June 25, my good friend ElDChopper completed the list of 58.
As a flatlander from the KC metropolitan area, this was a big deal and was 17 years in the making after his first 14er (Windom) in 2004.
We celebrated in style with the appropriate jersey number.
And our good friends Alan Horn and Grant White were also there to celebrate the achievement.
Way to go Chopper! Well done!

Congrats to The Chopper. And he brings out the DT jersey! Even Broncos fans can appreciate such greatness.

Congratulations! Extra credit for completing the 14ers from out-of-state, as that certainly adds scheduling/logistical difficulty.

Nice work! Way to stick with it. Culebra was also my finisher.

Re: ElDChopper is a Finisher
Congrats on the finisher! Super impressive from KC - strong perseverance over a long period of time! I suppose the Chiefs jersey can slide given the appropriate number .

Congratulations on finishing Colorado's 14ers. This is a great accomplishment. I hope you enjoyed the uniqueness of them all.

Re: ElDChopper is a Finisher
Congratulations on a wonderful accomplishment.
And I thought it was a long way to get yo the San Juan's from Denver.
Finishing from kc in less than half the time I've been working on them is wonderful.
