About TroyBacon
I have been a proud member of Cops on Top since 2005. I have climbed extensively in the west, but enjoy many of the climbing opportunities the east has to offer as well. My favorite climbs include, Denali, Mt Whitney, Mt Rainier, Granite Peak, and Aconcagua. I have had the opportunity to meet so many great people within the organization that have the same belief that I do of WE WILL NEVER FORGET!
