Lynn, 2 attempts ('09, '10), 1 summit ('10 at age 52). The goal is at least one annual summit from here on out, now that I have a pretty clear idea of what I'm doing.
The all-time modern summit leaders have got to be Bob R(ockwell) & Doug (Thompson) Sr. XXX is the number for these two, it's just a matter of what that first digit is . . .
Richard P(iotrowski) will be going for his 100th summit this coming weekend, and Jack Northam (whtnyn1) is planning his 100th summit next summer I believe. Jack is very low profile and doesn't post much, as is his wife Betsy, who I believe is in the neighborhood of 50 summits.
Jack is famous for doing multiple Main Trail doubles - up and down twice in one day. This past July when I and my family were out there, he summitted 5 times in 5 days, including 2 doubles. It went like this: Tuesday a double, rest Wednesday, Thursday a single, rest Friday, Saturday a double.
There are other regular visitors to the mountain with tons of summits that either are not members of the boards, or just keep their details to themselves. And of course the INFS and SEKI rangers - I would imagine some of the long-term rangers have got eye-popping numbers.
