Any Texan 14er Finishers?
It took 19 years, but I climbed 58/58 (Holy Cross) on 9/19/2021. I can't wait to hear the jeers... I realize this is an unfriendly forum for my kind. I've been hearing it in person and online and on the peaks and in the campgrounds for nearly 2 decades. It is really quite a shame, I always thought we were a rather friendly bunch. We are usually in a hurry, and don't know where we are going, but friendly never-the-less. Ready-set-flame!

Re: Any Texan 14er Finishers?
I've had the pleasure of meeting really cool people from Texas on multiple 14er summits and elsewhere in CO. I'm from MD, so I guess us out-of-staters need to stick together ... ha!! Congrats on a huge accomplishment!! I know the logistics and acclimation issues involved from out of state too.. so cheers to you man!!billyg0atgruff wrote: ↑Fri Sep 24, 2021 3:02 pm It took 19 years, but I climbed 58/58 (Holy Cross) on 9/19/2021.

Yep, it sometimes takes a bit of planning and good luck. Not every trip is successful.

Re: Any Texan 14er Finishers?
This really is the reason for the post. I really am wondering if anybody knows of any 14er finishers that were living in Texas for each summit. I am sure there are quite a few transplanted Texans that moved to CO that have finished, or at least some anyway. Any Texans?
