Way to go Ben! Congratulations!
The summit is a source of power. The long view gives one knowledge and time to prepare. The summit, by virtue of the dizzying exposure, leaves one vulnerable. A bit of confidence and a dash of humility is all we get for our work. Yet to share these moments with friends is to be human. C. Anker

Congrats Ben and mom and dad!!! You should all be so proud of yourselves! Enjoy the celebrations! You’ve earned it!

Very impressive! I have an 8 and 11 year old and the few peaks I have taken them up have been hard. I'm amazed a 10 year old can do some of the longer 14er days! Well done Ben and congrats to the family!!!
