Tracy Foutz made the 2nd ascent in 2012 using a metal ladder, but no rope. He returned with the Guidebook author Courtney Purcell in 2015, employing the same method.

There are different stages to the Peakbagger Compulsive Disorder. Early onset can be characterized by the desire to summit peaks, frequent thoughts of mountains, or elevation seeking behavior. Middle stages of the illness are diagnosed when the individual;
A) can name every peak visible from a given summit
B) keeps concise lists of all summits attained
C) has memorized specific summit elevations
D) can explain in detail just exactly what prominence or isolation is
Late stage PCD is degenerative and separates the sufferer from the things in life which they used to enjoy. "Peakbagging" is prioritized above interpersonal relationships, careers, and societal responsibilities. PCD's are willing to make sacrifices to continue the compulsive pattern. Hiking is no longer a singular pursuit of pleasurable recreation.
Ultimately PCD's become obsessed with mountain lists. Strong focus and drive is compulsively funneled into working on existing lists, completing familiar lists, or creating new lists. These hard cases are often referred to as "peakbaggers", "hill-walkers", or "list-chasers". |
