Thanks all! It's been a long, but fun journey of working on the list over the past five years, and I wouldn't be at this point without the many folks like Matt who've joined me on these climbs. West Spanish was a very fitting finish; I had the mountain to myself, the weather was a bit unusual but nothing bad happened, and there was little enough snow that my car and I were able to sneak up there over the weekend. The obligatory post-hike gorging on Rudy's bbq in the Springs was pretty awesome, too
Teresa--was great to meet you guys too! Hopefully we'll cross paths again in the future...
Luke--I have no idea how you know of my desire for Washakie Needles, but it's true! As in, if I could climb only one more peak before leaving Colorado, that'd be the one. Unfortunately, even with a willing climbing partner who has the requisite 4WD vehicle and lead-climbing skills, it's proving a *very* tough nut to crack...
