4000 ft Peaks in every month
Guessing Guy Waterman did this as well. Sue "Stinky Feet" Johnson did every 4K peak in every month back in 2003. That must have been pretty solid training for her ultra-marathons. Not ...

Re: Question for Leukotape users
I normally take a foot or so wrapped around a paperclip and that always seems to work for me. It has not lost its stick when I do this.
