New 14er Finisher - Durkan

Post by Fisching »

Huge congrats to Kevin Durkan for finishing the 14ers today with the combo ascent on Wetterhorn and Uncompahgre!
He's been burning up trail throughout the state this year, including on getting within range of finishing the Centennials. It's been a pleasure to join him on multiple peaks (and ice climbing this past winter)
Peter Aitchison on the risks of rock climbing and mountaineering: "That's life, isn't it? We think the challenge and satisfaction you get from doing this is worth the risks."
"Respect the mountain. Train hard. Hope you can sneak up when it isn't looking."

Congrats to him.

And while I never met him, he gave me a maroon bells permit he didn't need in mid august and I did pyramid with it.

So thank you.
