Who's this Nick guy? He's a 14er finisher with an overall total of 150+ summits spanning all seasons and including some ski descents. He's a valued partner to the 14ers.com community - and to the 14er community, at large, with his volunteer work through the Colorado Fourteeners Initiative. He has given back to the community in a number of ways including through hosting educational talks throughout the years at various outdoor retailers along the Front Range. He's a great person to learn from!
What will I learn? This event will cover the foundational aspects of hiking 14ers safely AND responsibly: where to begin, what peaks to start with, what gear do you need, and what is the alpine, exactly? There will be time for your questions, and let us tell you, the Q&A session last year was VERY popular! It was quite fun and informative.
Others in attendance will include some of us 14ers.com Facebook page admins and a couple of CFI Peak Stewards. We'd all love to meet you!
Please share this event, and come hang out with us! We welcome all.

Was a recording made of this webinar?
Yes, I believe it will be released in a week or so
Fascism, xenophobia, racism, and ignorance are not inevitable—they are choices. And so are compassion, understanding, and justice. Educate yourself and choose better.

100% correct!
I'll post a link to it here once Nick has edited the video.
Is there an update on this video? I would love to check it out.
Great question! Thanks for the reminder and the ping. I'll touch base with Nick to see where he's at with getting it posted. I know there was a bit of a techy hiccup for a minute, but that got resolved.
