Q: At what point did you commit to finishing them all?
A: July 4 weekend, 1999.  I did a spur of the moment climb up Shavano & Tabeguache.  It was then I decided I wanted to climb them all.

Q: What is your favorite fourteener route?
A: The Standard route up either Crestone Needle or Capitol Peak.  They were both a blast!!

Q: What is your least favorite route on a 14er?
A: It's hard to say.  There were several in the Sawatch Range that I didn't find too exciting, but I don't remember having a particularly bad time on any of them

Q: What was your most delightful moment on a 14er?
A: Summiting Capitol Peak.  The climb itself was awesome and the fact it was my last fourteener made for a spectacular day!!

 
Q: What was your most terrifying moment on a 14er?
A: No contest!!  Little Bear was the scariest.  Going through the "Hour Glass" and making class 4 moves on wet,
slimy rock while small boulders whizzed by was very scary!!  Actually, this may be my least favorite route.

 
Q: Do you have any plans for future mountain lists?
A: I've already been working on centennials & bicentennials, but I doubt I will be in a big hurry to finish them.  I'm also
working on doing the fourteeners again.  I just plan on climbing whatever and having fun doing it.

 
Q: What is the single most important piece of advice that you would give to someone just starting out?
A: Start easy and work your way up to the harder ones.  The more peaks you climb, the more experience you will
gain.  That will help make the harder ones not seem so hard, which in turn will make them a lot more enjoyable.
Also, make sure you have fun climbing these peaks.  Don't get too obsessed with having to climb all the fourteeners, or
completing any lists you may be thinking about.  The pressure to complete them all can make it seem more like work.
It can also increase your chances of getting into trouble. (OK, that was two important things).
