My husband, David Olmstead, recently completed climbing all of Colorado’s 58 named 14,000 foot plus mountains. In 2012, he and his buddy Phil climbed the state’s reputed most difficult 14er, Capitol Peak. Unlike the peaks named in my first blog post, Capitol is not a 14er for dogs. Dave’s story won first place in the nonfiction category and second place overall in a writing contest in 2013.
