Great job! You saved the best for last, and you treated the cents with respect. Hope you've got some great celebrations/commemorative things planned.

Congratulations Phill! That's a huge accomplishment. I was just on that very route doing the same thing last week. Did you spot a water bottle I lost? :)

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

That's pretty cool, Randy. We finished on the same route within 4 days. No, I did not see a water bottle, just lots and lots of rocks! Loved that Stormy Gulch, though. I'll go back to spend some more time later.

Thank you! Yes, big plans to come - now I can climb whatever I feel like climbing! You know, like Aconcaqua maybe? :lol:
