Congrats John! A nice county to finish, not too many access issues, and plenty of fine peaks!

Congrats John! It was great to finish this fine list with you (and Alyson) on a spectacular autumn day. We had many memorable excursions in the Gore together. A few that come to mind: Demings and Red on a huge June snowpack and record runoff on Gore Creek, Silverthorne/Hail, the Grand Traverse (awesome hike), Peak N and the mosquitoes from hell. And one of the toughest day hikes I've ever done anywhere: Peak G, Pk I, 12845, The Elephant, and Dwarf Pyramid. That was unforgettable.

Nice job John! Sounds like you had a lot more snow than I did on this same ridge just a year to the date prior, winter came early to parts of the state!

Glad to have shared the Silverthorne/Hail day with you and Steve, summit has some great peaks!

Congratulations, John!

I'm glad I was able to join you on the Silverthorne/Hail/"Zodiac View" group. Only 87 unranked left in Summit & you can be the first to finish the ranked + unranked list; I'm not holding my breath!

Way to go husband! And another one bites the dust! One day I will be a county finisher too, we just have to start working on a new county together. Still waiting for help with the crux of Clear Creek!
Until then, Here we come Fremont!
Love,
Aly
