Congratulations Heather on your amazing accomplishment! You're now among the rare few who've completed the list!!!

Ya done well, Chkn! Reeeeeeal well!! A bit legendary-arly!! I shed a tear thinking of the time we met on Culebra & thinking you had the ability to bite off my head (for fun), only to have you summit Dave and my 14er finisher & then scale up WHAM! for our Centennial finisher. Oh yeah, then introduce that fella Mike & we get up those PNW bumps Hood & Rainer. And then Mauna Kea, and Half Dome. We done some shiz, but YOU have done the kind of thing I get to brag to people about!!!
Yeah, you're pretty badass n awesome.

Your humble frien frrevers,
MacG
pretty much sums you up!

That's awesome! Congratulations!

I briefly met you on Savage and Lackawanna as you blew past me and my partner (on consecutive days...on the ascent and descent... :? ). You were kind enough to indulge me and let me get a picture of you.

Been a pleasure to follow your journey, without excessive boasting. Your accomplishments speak droves for what an amazing athlete you are! Thank you for being such a positive influence!
