I started hiking and climbing in my mid 30's, so I suppose that makes me a little bit of a late bloomer. Since then I've made up for lost time with a lot of hiking and climbing both inside and outside the U.S. I'm the proudest of making it to the summits of Kilimanjaro, Mount Rainier, Mount Shasta and Mount Hood. I'm currently climbing all of the state highpoints, with a current count of 9, all but one in the western U.S. I've hiked extensively in the State of Utah, as well as the Western U.S. in general. Recently completed a 30 day over land trip from S.F. to Anchorage Alaska which was a lot of fun. Currently planning hikes of Boundry Peak in Nevada and Gannet peak in Wyoming for 2016.
