Re: Zdero1 finishes the Centennials!!
Congratulations, Zdero! I know you've been working toward this for a long time, very well earned, sir! Was nice to run into you on Horseshoe and Cathedral a couple years back.
"The love of wilderness is more than a hunger for what is always beyond reach; it is also an expression of loyalty to the earth, the earth which bore us and sustains us, the only home we shall ever know, the only paradise we ever need – if only we had the eyes to see." -Ed Abbey
"I get scared sometimes—lots of times—but it's not bad. You know? I feel close to myself. When I'm out there at night, I feel close to my own body, I can feel my blood moving, my skin and my fingernails, everything, it's like I'm full of electricity and I'm glowing in the dark—I'm on fire almost—I'm burning away into nothing—but it doesn't matter because I know exactly who I am." from The Things They Carried

Great work!
I take the mountain climber's approach to housekeeping - don't look down

Congratulations man, making it down safely from #100 makes all that time, money, and effort worthwhile. Yewww!
Re: Zdero1 finishes the Centennials!!
Congratulations!!
I have phenomenal route-finding abilities. Specifically, I have an uncanny knack for selecting the path of most resistance.
Re: Zdero1 finishes the Centennials!!
Thx for the kind words, guys!
Mike- Thanks for being an incredible friend and climbing partner. Couldn’t have done it without you!
Mtnman- Crestone needle and Jagged Mtn were my favorites. Least favorite: Pikes!
JChitwood- I’m fuzzy on the details about the rocky start to my friendship with MichaelJ. But I do remember that it was all his fault!
