Fixed. I added a light/dark theme based on user preference and I didn't realize the opacity was allowing the background to come through. To be honest, I was unable to duplicate it — but I admit that I've been focused on getting the data correct.

Regarding LLM, now I understand, she was asking me a question I had already answered. That's what threw me off — she was using different terminology to ask a question I have answered multiple times.

Thanks for your support!! The number of people who have contributed, and the messages I've received from members is truly amazing.

A minor nitpick: Steve Gladbach died on Thunder Pyramid, not Pyramid Peak. I don't know if you want to expand your scope to nearby mountains or just high Colorado peaks in general, although that might be useful. https://publications.americanalpineclub ... nd-Unroped

Would you include traffic accidents on Pikes Peak or Mount Blue Sky/Evans? There have been a couple of deaths of motorcyclists competing in the Pikes Peak Hill Climb in that past 10-15 years.
