Mission (finally) accomplished. Many thanks to Bill and this website, and all the 14ers.com community and wonderful folks I have shared the Colorado summits with over the past 23 years. The quality and wealth of BETA I have been drawing from on this website for the past 20 years has made my finisher journey not only possible, but safer and more enjoyable.
Bagged my last on Saturday 7/18, TR here... https://www.14ers.com/php14ers/triprepo ... trip=23578 for those interested.
Be safe out there all. When in Doubt, Go Higher!

Re: Turbocat Finishs 58.
Congrats! An impressive accomplishment! I too have been working at it for a while now, not quite as long as you, but 17 years. I got my first in 2009 and heading out again in a few weeks. I have 39 down. I am wondering it you are also a not-from-Colorado climber. It makes it challening when you are limited to a few short vacation weeks each year. (just went back and read your trip report - great report! and looks like a great route. I also see you're from Longmont. I am envious.)

Re: Turbocat Finishs 58.
Congratulations on completing the Colorado 14ers! You don’t have very many centennials left, so hopefully you can complete them as well. Arrow is super fun, and the Trinities traverse makes for a fun three-peak day. Jagged will be the biggest challenge, so I’ll PM you some beta.

Re: Turbocat Finishs 58.
Awesome accomplishment and really cool that you went back for the unranked to finish your list.
Finishing in the Chicago basin on a backpacking trip with your son is a great way to mark the occasion. Seems pretty perfect to me.

Re: Turbocat Finishs 58.
Nice job - impressed that you made a separate trip to go back just for North Eolus! Well done!
