KlenkeWith another County Highpoint...

Voted 10/10

...you've done under your right elbow (i.e., Mt. Buckner).



After showing such excitement on an exposed summit, a man that happy should watch his step for 15 minutes.

Indeed, Buckner under my right elbow, and yet unclimbed (by me) Goode under the left. I'm tentatively scheduled to attempt Goode next summer with the three guys who are writing a book on the National Park highpoints (including Gerry Roach). Believe me, I'd been watching my step for 8 hours, and would for the following 6 hours as well. But I was excited, I must admit.

DigglerCongrats, Bob!

Voted 10/10

Good job! How many county highpoints are there in Washington? Having taken a certain interest in doing the ones in California (there are 56 here), I'm curious about the effort required in other states (particularly in the W). Congratulations!

Washington has only 39 counties, but 7 of them are in the list of 20 toughest county highpoints in the 48 states, the "Apex counties", (more than any other state), and 11 of the climbs have total elevation gains of over 5000 feet (also most of any other state of the 48). So Washington is no pushover. C'mon up!

You look like you just won the lottery. The expression on your face reflects how much you and all of us love the hills.

You've got that right Gene! But I must admit that winning the lottery would be all that much better - I'd be out there lovin' the hills a whole lot more if I didn't have to work! -Bob
