Congratulations on achieving your goal! I always wonder if I will see you when I go for an after work hike on Olympus. Let me just add - my after work hikes don't even get me anywhere close to the summit. Awesome achievement. Do you take a summit shot each time you summit?
Thanks, and thanks for the vote! I very rarely carry a camera up there, so I don't have many summit shots. Most of the time I just tag the summit register then turn around and head down.
Way to go Joe! I think the quad climb is the most impressive of the whole thing, 4 round trips totalling 28 miles and 16,000 vertical feet in 14 hours!!!! Also, it is commendable that you put in some trail maintenance time.
Thanks Judy. And yes, the quad was by far the most difficult portion of the whole year. I did a triple in 2008 and a quad in 2009. I'm planning to try for 5 in 2010.
