Congrats to Calvin Hamilton (age eight) who finished the 14ers with Mount Elbert last Saturday. We started hiking the 14ers when he was 4, and it was extremely challenging, but also extremely rewarding watching him grow into a great hiker. I was curious if anyone knows of the other young kids who have climbed the 14ers? I have heard of at least 2 six year old girls, a seven year old girl, and another eight year old boy, but there doesn't seem to be much information about them.

Umm . . . . . . . . . .WOW!!! Congrats Calvin that is amazing!!!

Nicely done Calvin!

Congrats! and all smiles too.

Hey Andrew:

Congrats! Looks like he had a great mentor. Is he riding bikes, too?

Wow, such a great job Calvin!! What a wonderful achievement for a little guy.

I've heard that the youngest are Megan Emmons, at age 7, and Tyle Smith, at age 8. It sounds like your son might be the youngest male finisher. I hadn't heard about any six-year-olds; that would be pretty incredible if true. In any case, congratulations! I've been working the list for over twice the time he's been alive, and I'm still not quite finished.

Andrew, congrats! We met you, Calvin, and your youngest son - along with your Dad - on San Luis Peak in August. Calvin's quite a kid - you guys had an aggressive schedule left in you back in August.

Have a restful fall!

You the Man ! Congratulations Calvin! Do you guide ? I have a couple tuff ones left : ) I'm Look'n for a little help.

Wow, he has completed this 'small' list pretty quickly! TIme to move on to bigger things?

Congrats!

If those photos are any indication, what a charming, persistent mountaineer!
Congrats Calvin and Andrew! Strong work, guys!

Congrats Calvin! That's quite an accomplishment!
