Can confirm. And it's magnificent! Thanks for putting up with the full spectrum of nerdy talk over the miles & years, Heeether! Even though your real-time poking fun at us encouraged us to crank the level of nerd to 11.267 - looking at you Troy & Mikey.

Congratulations, Heather. You're a true mountaineering bad-ass athlete and I always like seeing your accomplishments.
I have phenomenal route-finding abilities. Specifically, I have an uncanny knack for selecting the path of most resistance.

Congrats Heather! Incredible accomplishment!

Congratulations Heather on successfully perching atop every Colorado 13er summit top!! It’s been a wonder to watch your determination (the roads you levitated Tina up
), commitment (sieging summits with a full 9-5), and excitement (a giddy summit smile in even the most sleep deprived stupor) all along the way. Seeing your passion for summits shift your journey from a humble Centennial cherry picking assassin to a renowned tag-everything-with-a-13 climber was awesome!
I can only image how proud JR is to see his Half Dome shadow quietly accomplish this feat while carrying forward an infused passion for mountains and all the joys that they bring. Thanks for letting me share in a few summits along the way.
If the allure of the high Colorado summits still calls your name in retirement, you have a bright future as a summit greeter and sign spinner.
May all your future trails be covered in mossy materials. Happy trails and see you on Sopris!

P.S. “NOT 12ers” is the battle cry of every deviant climber unknowingly embarking on a 12er checklist.
P.P.S. If anyone has a direct line to Bill, I would love to continue my campaign to banish Heather’s robot name (hr011424) and bestow her proper chicken title to the forum/checklist in celebration. Thanks!
