Until May 18, 1980, there were 58 peaks in the contiguous 48 US states with at least 5,000 feet of topographic prominence, AKA Ultra-prominence peaks. That list of 58 peaks was not known to have been completed by any single person, although two people, Bob Packard and Edward Earl, had completed the 57 such peaks which now remain. Because my friend Duane Gilliland and I both climbed pre-eruption St. Helens, we were hoping to be the first to complete the list of 58. This we did on August 17, 2008 on the summit of Mt. Cleveland in Montana, the highest peak in Glacier National Park. These are photos of those peaks or from my climbs. (Album still under construction).
