And another toast to you! (Although in contrast to greenonions', my Malbec might be merely perfectly acceptable).
Cheers!

That is both a great achievement and a great inspiration to us middle age climbers who are concerned about how many more years we might have left. Awesome job!!!

Nobody climbs 14ers anymore, they’re too crowded.

Awesome! I did not realize the 105 was a thing. Now I have a new goal.
Century Bound, eventually.

Didn't know you were at KC guy. That makes it even more impressive.
