THANK YOU to everyone who supported 14ers.com this year! This pig costs me over $10k to run each year and through hundreds of donations and a few shirt sales, we've covered those costs. Again.

For 2024, I'll will continue to add functionality to the site and mobile apps as well as re-climb a bunch of peaks to keep route descriptions up to date. I love it.

Think snow and be safe out there,

Thank you for continuing to maintain this site. Still the best Colorado climbing resource around. Any thoughts of re-opening the store? Perhaps a re-designed t-shirt or updating the old design with “Mount Blue Sky”?
Century Bound, eventually.

Thanks for all of the work you do Bill. Speaking of shirts, earlier this past year, I pulled out one of the t-shirts I bought from you, the dark green one in heavy cotton, every time I wear it, I get comments about how good it looks!

Thank you Bill, for all the hard work you have to do behind the keyboard to make this site operational. 14ers.com is by far the best hiking/outdoor website out there. Thank you for helping everyone with all of your great info.
