Bob, that is just an incredible number - 1500 10K-plus summits! Congratulations! We still talk about that day we were with you for the "7.0 summit", as well as the hospitality you showed us in your home and with your horses. Bri still asks me from time to time how Rooney is. That was a really fun trip for us, and in Bri's mind the horses more than made up for the XC descent we took on hike day that scared her half to death!
And I'm very relieved your consecutive summit streak is still going strong, especially after my being the one to nearly wreck it a few years ago on that climb of Cathedral. It not only speaks to your ability, but to your judgment on when to pull the trigger. You evaluate weather and conditions as carefully as anyone I've ever been in the mountains with, and that goes a long way in keeping a streak like that alive.
Sorry to hear about your back, but glad to know you're past it. Hope to catch up with you this coming year for a mountain or two.
Gary
