Laura, just another great TR - I really enjoyed the slideshow. Kept looking for Bob's "boy". Bob's saga is just a forerunner of where you'll be eventually - running out of challenging Sierra/Cali peaks and having to look elsewhere for something new. Don't fret - there's a lifetime of adventures to be had in the Rockies and the Cascades if you're willing to earn some FF points. You could always take it easy for a while and boulder in JTNP or Utah . . . smile

And I'm trying to picture you (1) intimidated about anything, and (2) quivering/shaking/crying while snapping a shot of a sleepyhead rattle-woosie. Just can't conjure the image . . .
