Only 960 ranked peaks left in the state of Colorado. Shouldn't take him long.

Congrats, John!

Congratulations once again John! I am impressed you were able to brave the smoke and flames on Trappers and 11460'! That is dedication and determination! But the truly impressive feat will be how quickly Alyson joins this exclusive club! Keep doing what you do! And thanks again for all you do here!!!
