Really impressive. First peaks I did was when I was 16 Shav and Tab on a youth group trip. Got a headache and hated it. Couldn't believe people would do that stuff for fun at the time. To finish the top 100 at age 17 is super impressive!

Thank you all!

I climbed my first 14er, Grays, at the age of 6 on 8/11/2010. Following that, I climbed a dozen or so 14ers with my dad but didn't get serious about mountain climbing until I got my drivers license. I climbed 56 14ers in 2020 and then decided to go for the centennials—finishing those on 11/22/2021 with an ascent of Clinton Peak.

This forum has been invaluable to my success. Although I am not an active forum user, I do frequently browse it. The knowledge contributed here is immense. All of the trip reports, peak condition reports, and discussions made this endeavor so much easier.

I have also been honored to climb with many people from this site. To everyone I have climbed with: Thank you! Your friendship and company was and remains far more valuable than any collection of summits.

Clint
