Congrats! What I would give to have been in the mountains all the time at that age!
How old are the Hamilton kids? If anyone is close, it’s probably them.

Re: Centennial Finish: Youngest Ever?
Congratulations buddy, and kudos to your parents for supporting you in this adventure! Gotta live your dreams, and do it when you're young, because you just never know where life's gonna take you next.
Born and raised in the mountains myself, I was slowly and painfully getting into technical rock climbing at your age, although hiking had been a big thing for me already. Then I took different paths in life (mostly in good ways though), but I ended up doing things and living in places I'd never had thought I'd be in a lifetime. Thankfully I can again afford at least a week per year of hiking some summits (most convenient place for it being CO), but re-learning class 3 moves and exposure past age 40 is not as easy as it once was...
Word of wisdom of a not so young dude who was dreaming of being just like you a few decades ago.
Also, congrats on your trip report, very well written and nice photos.

I’ve got socks older than you! Nice work!

Thanks so much everyone! I really appreciate all of you. Will_E, to answer your question, probably Jagged.
If you aren’t thirsty, you brought too much water.
If you aren’t hungry, you brought too much food.
If you aren’t scared, you brought too much gear.
If you made it to the top, it was too easy anyway.

Re: Centennial Finish: Youngest Ever?
Nice work! And also to your parents for getting you out there! Anyway as far as i know you are the youngest to complete the centennials. My oldest son Calvin climbed the 14ers twice by the time he was 10, but we have never pulled off getting out there and finishing the centennials. Again great job!
