– To the Foothills with Robert Martin Episode 24 Tim and Carrie CooneyThe "Climbing Cooneys,” Tim and Carrie, have been visiting Colorado summits since 1975. Married in 1978, Tim finished all the 14ers in 1983 and Carrie finished in 1987—after given birth to two children, Shaun and Sharon. In 1994, Tim & Carrie finished the 100 highest Colorado summits; by 1995, they had finished the 200 highest. Then in 2002, it was the 300 highest. At that point, they began to realize that finishing all the Colorado 13ers could become a reality. That goal was finished on August 3, 2013 on Boreas Mountain, accompanied by friends, family, and some noteworthy fellow-peakbaggers.Climbing Colorado 13ers has not been their only interest. From their Grand Junction home, Tim & Carrie have put in thousands of miles of road biking including some notable "century" rides both in and out of state. They also enjoy mountain biking in and around the Grand Junction area as well as Moab. In the winter, they relish the fresh powder of the Grand Mesa and spend many weekends enjoying the snowy backcountry and Nordic trails and also downhill skiing.In recent years, they've branched out into technical canyoneering and have enjoyed an entirely different world than the Colorado high country by venturing into the Utah desert to clamber through remote slot canyons—frequently visiting the famous Zion National Park. Listen to this informative To the Foothills episode with Tim and Carrie Cooney about peakbagging in Colorado. Here are some of the beneficial topics covered on this week’s show:- How peakbagging is a great activity for people who enjoy the high country.- Why it’s important to be able to get away from the hustle of the city and find solitude.- Where Carrie and Tim enjoy peakbagging the most and why.- How Colorado can snow any time of year, so peakbaggers must be prepared.- How you want to bring 10 essentials when peakbagging and what those essentials are. Connect with Tim and Carrie:Links Mentioned:https://www.climbingcooneys.com/cooneys/https://www.highestgroundphotography.com/ Guest Contact Info:Facebookfacebook.com/Clib13ers Connect with Robert Martin Broker Associate with Compass Colorado:Websitehttps://www.mountainrealestategroup.com/https://www.mountainregroup.comEmailrobert.martin@compass.comPhone303.882.8450Instagram@robertmartincompassFacebookfacebook.com/Robert-Martin-189289934510939/LinkedInlinkedin.com/in/robert-martin-51188316 Learn more about your ad choices.
