Congrats, Kevin! Bummed I couldn't join on your finisher or much this summer, but it was a pleasure tagging along so often during the beginning and middle parts of your journey. I'll definitely never forget our Chicago Basin trip, that was an all-timer. Just don't forget your shoes next time...

Looking forward to many more years of peakbagging and outdoor adventures! You don't suck, dude.
“There are two kinds of climbers: those who climb because their heart sings when they’re in the mountains, and all the rest.” - Alex Lowe

"There have been joys too great to describe in words, and there have been griefs upon which I cannot dare to dwell; and with those in mind I say, 'Climb if you will, but remember that courage and strength are nought without prudence, and that a momentary negligence may destroy the happiness of a lifetime. Do nothing in haste, look well to each step, and from the beginning think what may be the end.'" - Edward Whymper

Sitting comfortably at 89, but who knows if I'll go back for "Red A". Ranch screwed us over the day we went for Culebra so not sure if I wanna give them more money. Maybe do the next couple bicents to make up for it? haha
