Sooke man reaches 100 Mt. Quimper summits by 65

For Jon Erzinger, reaching his 65th birthday came with a milestone measured not in candles, but in summits.
On Saturday, Aug. 22, Erzinger celebrated his birthday by completing his 100th climb of Mt. Quimper, joined by 13 hikers and two dogs.
The Sooke resident first climbed the mountain in 2022, shortly after moving to the community. What began as a way to stay active in retirement eventually became an ambitious personal goal: the goal of reaching the summit 100 times before turning 65.
