Thanks, everyone! It was great to finally finish a list with Kirk, in CA. I owe a thankyou to Dwight and Sarah for letting us get Liberty Cap on our Rainier trip, or the Contiguous US 14er list wouldn't have happened.
Last year was the first year since I started finishing lists that I did *not* finish anything. It put me in a good position this year. If the weather cooperates just a little bit longer, I'm hoping the CO High 800 might still happen within a couple weeks.
I've spent enough time in CA and WY to know I want to keep going back. I will need help in WY, and I'm not sure how easy that will be to come by. And it's hard to make progress in CA -- 4 trips over 4 years out there for 25 ranked peaks over 13K. It's hard for me to feel committed at this point to a list that has so many questions attached. But if I plug away at it each year, maybe it will start feeling more realistic. Has to be better than the CO 11ers!
