Andrew’s High Points

One of Andy’s life goals is to climb the highest peak in all the 50 United States. He is a current member of the High Pointers Club, an organization made up of climbers and mountaineers with a shared goal of summiting the highest peaks in the country. The Highpointers Club is linked with The Highpointers Foundation, which works to provide a forum for education about the 50 US State highpoints, aids in the conservation of the highpoints and their environs, maintains positive relationships with owners of highpoints on private property (such as Rhode Island, Illinois, and Kentucky), assists in the care and maintenance of highpoints, and supports private and public efforts to maintain the integrity and safe access to state highpoints. See a list of all the highpoints here with more descriptions here.Here’s Andy’s summits so far:
