Big congratulations to sfreytag (Steven) finishing the 14er in style Sunday, September 1 on Mount Columbia with his fiancée Tyler, dog Kona, family, friends and Pi the dog.
Steven has quietly pursued this goal as he does most things including through-hiking the Colorado Trail four years ago. He is a true friend and part of our family.
Congratulations Steven and I'm looking forward to hearing about your next big thing.

Re: sfreytag Finishes the 14ers!
Thank you everyone!
The best part of the weekend was Tyler said yes on the summit! We got to celebrate two things on the summit! Truly amazing weekend with great people.
And Glen was the MVP of the hike. He helped, encouraged, and willed Tyler's parents to the summit of their first 14er so they could join the celebration!

Thank you! She is one of the main reasons I started the 14ers. When she was a crazy high energy puppy, nothing would tire her out...except for hiking 14ers. So we just started knocking them out weekend after weekend. Kona has been my number one 14er parter and Columbia was summit #28 for her!

Congratulations, Steven! What a great feeling to reach that 58th summit surrounded by family. Bet you celebrated all the way down and after!
But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
