Bill, there has been murmuring amongst the naysayers, that you may not have actually topped out on the true summit of Sunlight Peak. Can you please provide unequivocal proof?

Thanks and congratulations!! :P

And an excellent post, joflyer22!

Congratulations!!! I guess you guys must have been the ones ahead of me helping to pack down the trail that day - thanks!

That was a cold and windy Finisher! When I reached the summit just before 12:30pm the EMT told me the readings from the equipment up there were -19F with a ten minute average for the wind at 44mph! Cool way for you to finish!

Congrats Bill! Glad the plans for the full moon finisher worked out. It was nice meeting you on Lincoln a few weeks ago =D>

Awesome job Bill! Comparing our lists it looks like we have plenty of Centennials we are both missing (particularly in the SJ). Let me know if you'd like to team up for one in the future!
