A PEAKBAGGER’S OBSESSION
A PEAKBAGGER’S OBSESSION
One of Jesse Boyd’s most enjoyable hobbies is bagging closed contours. The struggle to the summit of a worthy peak is a physical picture of the spiritual struggle that exists in the life of a born-again Christian as he walks along his earthly pilgrimage (Philippians 1:29). The journey must be taken one step at a time. Once attaining the goal, the rewards are well worth every trial, tribulation, and agonizing step (Romans 8:18). Jesse has climbed to the summit of more than 300 peaks; including adventures in the Himalayas, the Andes, and above the Arctic Circle; extensive peak-bagging in the Sierra Nevada; big Cascade Volcanoes; some jewels of the Rockies; and plentiful worthy peaks in the Appalachians, including all 40 Southern Sixers. By God’s grace, Jesse has been able to place the Gospel of Jesus Christ and small Bibles in numerous summit registers. He has also put up new registers containing the Gospel on many peaks that did not previously have a register. Here, you can wade through Jesse’s peakbagging obsession, mountaineering penchants, and personal quests (as they unfold and progress) as well as enjoy a few photos from his various adventures from around the world.
