Congrats! OK, I gotta ask...do they actually give you a gold ice axe? If so, isn't it really heavy lugging that thing up mountains? I thought the more elite you became, the lighter the gear, geez....
Great job, well deserved!

Congratulations to Teresa Gergen

I remember first meeting you in Ruby Creek in 2004 when you were working on the Bicentennials. Now look at what you have done....

I can't even begin to fathom your climbing stats. If anyone deserves the Golden Ice Axe, it is you.
I take the mountain climber's approach to housekeeping - don't look down
