The plan was to do it different, and we succeeded
We have done 18 14er summits together so far, the Crestone traverse twice, the Bells traverse, Pyramid and many others. I look for to many more summits with you.dwoodward13 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 12, 2020 10:03 am Congrats Bill!
Its been a pleasure to share many of these summits with you. Here's to many more!
We have done both the Bells and Crestone traverse together with and bunch of other summits, I look forward to many more with you.
We have climbed Little Bear, Thunder Pyramid and Haggerman together. All very tough peaks and I was happy to have been your partner on those climbs. I look forward to the future climbs with you.
I know we have a couple of summits together
Little Bear was a great day, look forward to climbing with you again.dirtwatson wrote: ↑Sun Jan 12, 2020 8:12 pm Congratulations Bill,
It was great to share Little Bear Peak with you and osprey last spring. I agree with his above comment: you maintain a very positive and respectful position in this community.
Best wishes!
We have done Capitol Peak together, as well as other 14ers and 13ers, look forward to our future climbs.
You were with me on my last 5 14ers to complete my journey to 58, thank you and look forward to the climbs we have coming up this year. And is the the video just incase there is a question about Sunlight Peak summit https://youtu.be/1lXCnOtawtw
I think we passed each other when you were pretty close to the summit, in all black with the yellow boots. Nice work on getting out there on a windy and cold daydaway8 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2020 7:29 am 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!
Also very nice meeting you on Lincoln the 1st full day of winter this season, it was great to chat for a bit.Chicago Transplant wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2020 8:12 am Congrats Bill! Glad the plans for the full moon finisher worked out. It was nice meeting you on Lincoln a few weeks ago
Thank you and that was totally the plan for a unique finisher
I would love to join up to work on the Centennial list, thank you and look forward to teaming up.TakeMeToYourSummit wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2020 9:55 am 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!

Congrats Bill! I don't think we've climbed anything together, but it's always a pleasure catching up at the Spring Gathering.

"There have been joys too great to describe in words, and there have been griefs upon which I cannot dare to dwell; and with those in mind I say, 'Climb if you will, but remember that courage and strength are nought without prudence, and that a momentary negligence may destroy the happiness of a lifetime. Do nothing in haste, look well to each step, and from the beginning think what may be the end.'" - Edward Whymper
