Congratulations, Laura!! You finished in half the time it took me.

After working on list after list, I've finally just made a big grab-bag of fun scrambles (maybe 200+ peaks that I don't have any intention of completely finishing, though that would obviously be cool) for me to pick through. It's definitely freeing to be able to do whatever sort of hike/climb you want without actively trying to complete a list.

Sounds like some awesome adventures and looks like a blast! Is that a Princess Toadstool get up?
Thank you! :-D Haha, my girl friends and I thought it would be fun to wear the skirts/tutus. The idea for the crown came from a lyric from a Gregory Alan Isakov song titled "San Luis," in which he sings "their eyes are shining like the sea, for you, the queen of San Luis." We thought it would be fitting for this summit!

Thank you, thank you! The problem is I *do* hear the remaining centennials, bicentennials, the rest of the 637 13ers, and way too many other things calling. So I think I'll cherry pick what I'm most interested in from all of those things instead of siloing myself within another single list. :)
