14er fan club : one man's quest to climb all 55-14,000 foot mountains in Colorado

Having moved to Colorado via Minnesota and Texas, author Jerry Funk formerly considered mountains only as something to be skied. Hiking, climbing, and camping were foreign concepts to him, along with the word 14er. At age 48, he climbed his first 14er and This adventure recounts the humorous but often life-threatening experiences of one hiker as he climbs the fifty-five (not fifty-four!) Colorado mountains of 14,000 feet and above.
