2004
(<<< 2003) (2004) (2005 >>>)
After completing the Idaho 12ers in August of 2003, I needed to find another hiking goal. I ended up moving to Colorado, so I turned my attention to the Colorado 14ers. A co-worker of mine had already given me a 14er guidebook, so I started to do some reading to see what I was up against. I determined that I would like to complete them all by the time I was 40 (10 years) and attempt to complete at least one difficult peak each year. At this point, I'm slightly ahead of schedule because I have been able to complete several easy mountains over the past winter and spring. As of May, I have also climbed a difficult peak for 2004. With my climb of Mount Rainier on July 31, 2004, I equaled my mileage and elevation gain totals from 2003. (After reading this page 15 years after I wrote it, I actually finished the Colorado 14ers in three years.)
