Finished on Wilson Pk

Post by Ssgustafson »

Finished on Wilson Pk this Saturday (8/20) with a friend and hiking mentor from LA!

It has been an awesome journey to start and finish in my 50s! First peak was Mt. Evans on 30 June 2018 (age 55).

Many thanks for all the information I've gotten from this site and from so many people I've met along the way!

On to the the Centennials!

Congratulations! =D>

Great accomplishment! You will find the centennials even more fulfilling. No "filler" peaks going up to #100.
I have phenomenal route-finding abilities. Specifically, I have an uncanny knack for selecting the path of most resistance.
