Dave Hahn Finishes the 13ers

Postby ClimbingCooneys » Sat Aug 23, 2014 4:56 pm

Congratulations to Dave Hahn who finished all the ranked Colorado 13ers today (8/23/14). Dave had completed all the 14ers a number of years ago. Finishing the 14ers and 13ers took him most of a lifetime - 44 years he reports. His last summit was "Golden Bear" above the Eisenhower Tunnel. It may have taken over 4 decades, but it's still a major accomplishment to finish all those summits and the majority of them were completed solo! Dave extends credit to Mike Garratt & Bob Martin for their book on the "Colorado's High 13ers" that inspired Dave and encouraged him on this quest. Hip, Hip, Hurray for Dave! :rock: :rock:

Congrats!

I was the solo hiker in the red jacket. Glad the clouds cleared long enough for you to enjoy the summit.

Congrats Dave. I remember seeing your name in many 13er registers years ago and wondering who you were. I could also say the same for the Climbing Cooneys, who announced your success. You were from Parker where my primary 13er partner, Debby Reed, also lived at the time. Not sure if Debby ever looked you up. I also asked some of my other climbing partners but you remained a "ghost" who just signed into registers. Congrats.

Garratt and Martin's book influenced many, if not most, of the early 13er finishers plus many others as well. I meet Mike three times in the mountains but never meet Bob or you out there. Now LOJ is taking its place with amazing information and influence. Thanks to Mike and Bob for their efforts and to John for his. Montani Semper Liberi

I noticed he was down to his last 13er last week and wondered if he'd be finishing soon. Is Dave the first this year as finisher #30?

Congrats!
