He has not. Most USA list chasers aside from state high pointers make the stipulation that they complete lists under CONUS (contiguous United States). The reason for this is that the peaks in AK are either too numerous, too dangerous, or too difficult.
...and the customary Gimpilator video. You could do it professionally! (or maybe you do?)
The exposure looked electrifying even in the photos and film - so I can imagine how it must have been to actually be there - congratulations on your success, despite thunderstorms and your friends hand injury.
BTW - I've just posted a route page which may interest you - Dufourspitze - Italian Normal Route: http://www.summitpost.org/dufourspitze-italian-normal-route/877959.
I seem to remember that is still on your wish list?
Thanks Mark! My job does not involve video but I wish it did because it's a lot of fun. Greg's hand has completely healed and tomorrow I'm flying down to the Arizona desert so we can spend 6 days climbing various peaks. I took a look your new route page. you did an amazing job there! I daresay it's better than the mountain page. I'd still like to climb Dufor but I'm sort of burned out on international travel after 3 months in Asia. Some day...
