A Mountain Scorecard

Finished! 48/48 in NH. 		Yes, there is something rather childish about peak-bagging, but sometimes keeping score can help put things in perspective. It makes it so much easier to keep track of where you've been and where you're going. Personally, I climbed all the 4000'ers just to see what each looks like. You don't know what you're missing unless you make the effort to go see for yourself. Now, I'm working on California peaks.(W=winter ascent)
A toast!

3,000' above Tioga Pass and 12,500' above Livermore
Cruise the PCT then slog through the scree
An easy three-hour walk on a clear, cool, breezy fall day
Skinning and skiing in spring-like weather
To within one class-4 move of the summit, with a snowman
