The purpose of this letter is to report of my first-hand view on Rick Crandall’s abilities to help CEOs and boards in the information technology field. He has been well regarded in the industry for decades – as a leader and successful CEO.

As a board member, Rick is thorough and incisive, and prefers to state any problem concisely. He portrays his range of solutions in a positive fashion. In particular, I find Rick has an extraordinary range of knowledge about players in information technology – at all levels – ranging from CEO down to project manager. He establishes his credibility rapidly through his questions and observations. My statement to you is that Rick has been very effective in the strategy formulations for businesses, which are delicate to portray, particularly if they involve a change in direction for the company. He is very balanced in his interpersonal skills and an extremely value-added member of the discussion.

I recommend Rick Crandall without hesitation

My Favorite 14er Climb Stories

San Luis Peak – via Creede and the South Ridge

A shocking (literally hair-raising) story. We found this approach was the best. Even summiting at 10am we got hit by multiple electrical storm cells that arose with no warning and discharged into us right at summit! We ran and got sufficiently down before the discharges took the form of full lightning bolts.

Automatic Crystal Parlor Fountains

Based on a pneumatic principle by physicist Heron of Alexandria in AD 62, the Automatic Crystal Fountain combines beauty with captivating geyser-like fountain using no apparent motive power.

El Diente – Climbing a hard Fourteener

El Diente – A Hard Mountain in the San Juan Range El Diente is not often climbed and indeed it has its challenges. We liked the south ridge approach from the Kilpacker trailhead. From that direction the view of El Diente is impressive and the Kilpacker Basin is a feast for the eyes.

Mt. Daly – the “one with the stripe”

Mt. Daly is on the other side of the saddle from Capitol Peak. It is one of the most visible mountains to those traveling between Aspen and Snowmass. While not a 14er, it is a named 13er with a fun Class 3 ridge-crest climb that is less frequently done. There is also not much written about the best way up, solved here in this story.
