Re: Garrett Mitchell Finishes the 13ers
Huge Congratulations! This is a truly inspiring accomplishment!
Fun fact- apparently Garrett already has a mountain named for him, and it’s very nearly over 13,000 feet elevation too. Locals of Snowmass Village will point out the unofficially named “Garrett Peak,” west of the village (north ridge of Willoughby Mountain)

Congratulations great accomplishment.
Thank you for letting us use your rope to climb Coxcomb. It was also great chatting with you on Bartlett and Fairview.

Congratulations on an awesome accomplishment!
And as a fan of an MLB team that also has a Garrett Mitchell, I can’t resist. Go Brewers! Be a finisher as well!

Re: Garrett Mitchell Finishes the 13ers
I've seen the name quite a bit, and it's nice to put a face to the name. And from the pics, it looks like you had plenty of fun along the way. Congratulations.
Re: Garrett Mitchell Finishes the 13ers
Congrats, Garrett, this is a long time coming! Another fine addition to the finisher list, and a rare unranked finisher as well. Great style. See you and Heather in Grand Junction soon!

Re: Garrett Mitchell Finishes the 13ers
Way to go, Garrett! You are a very accomplished mountaineer. Fer 13er finishers have juggled that project with kids, let alone the daunting unrankeds. Here's to the map geeks!

Re: Garrett Mitchell Finishes the 13ers
Congratulations! Now that’s dedication!
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
