Nevada completions

Garrick Meeker and Wit Ashbrook completed the county highpoints of Nevada on Boundary Peak, Esmeralda county on July 25, 2016 at precisely the same time. We visited every highpoint together. Although I visited East Peak earlier I repeated it with him.

Some of the most memorable times (good and bad) include:

- Ruby Dome and Charleston: gorgeous mountains, exhausting. North/south loop on Charleston, crampons still required on Ruby Dome in June.
- Wheeler Peak: gorgeous mountain, pleasant hike (rare for this list).
- First Mt Grant Challenge in 2011.
- That bar in Middletown, although its mostly Scott Peavys story (see our Bunker Hill trip report).
- Rough roads tearing the evap canister off my CR-V (twice!). Could have funded a major mountain expedition instead
- Sand skiing on Sand Mountain along hwy 50. Parking is only free for 1 hour (really?) so we paid a group with ATVs to take us up with skis. Conclusion: sand is not a substitute for snow unless its really, really steep.
- The shoe tree.
- Stashing my old skis at the shoe tree so wed have more room during Bunker Hill.
- Telling the tow truck driver that we needed to pick up some skis at the shoe tree.
- Riding a steam locomotive in Ely.
- Lehman Caves in Great Basin NP.
- Hiking Grafton from the highway because my battery died, then getting the nice rancher across the road to give us a jump to get back to town.
- Skiing several Tahoe highpoints, racing to get off Snow Valley Peak before the Spooner Lake resort called search and rescue.
- Climbing Mt Davidson in the winter at sunset and ending up in a karaoke bar with the Virginia City locals.
- Failed winter attempt on Boundary Peak in January 2015. We brought polks but the mountain was almost dry. Stubbornly, we dragged them though snow and brush to a camp (including an ice chest!), then realized we couldnt ski through the brush. We postholed though snow (me still carrying my skis) and then climbed talus in ski boots to the point of exhaustion. At least I got a few hundred feet of turns down the Whites. We brought a pint of ice cream to toast Adam Helman at the top but even in January in an insulated container it was basically melted. The aliens watching us from Area 51 must have thought we lost our minds.

Boundary Peak in summer doesnt make that list. Best thing is that I dont need to go back. Wit said if he doesnt have to climb scree for another 10 years, it will be too soon.
