| Contact me at william.musser@tetratech.com. CO, FL, and ME are my home states. I enjoy teaming to pursue obscure summits with bushwhacking and complex route finding.
"Peakbagging" is distinguished from "highpointing" in that pursuits are peaks with lists requiring some threshold of prominence. In highpointing, the goal is reaching the highest point in some geographic area. I favor destinations maximizing exercise and outdoor experience over private land issues. Peakbagging is my passion, thus use of this website.
