I didn't get to climb any 14ers last summer although we did a 16er in Peru. Hopefully this summer will be less snow!

I climbed all the 14ers about 25 years ago, but that was pre-geocaching. I've also repeated some of those hikes with my son and qualify for this challenge with 3 caches.

I've been climbing 14ers since long before I started geocaching. I currently have 14 finds over 14,000 feet (nice coincidence). I probably have almost as many DNFs above 14,000. Rock pile caches are difficult at any elevation. BigSmile
Hope to be out there to sign the log on a future trip.
