For those of you that don't know Laura that well, this is an interesting statement. While she is adventurous and outgoing, and perfectly comfortable roughin' it, she does not in fact have that particular cut-throat, no-fear attitude shared by so many outdoor enthusiasts. She takes her time with things. I like to joke that the reason that her labor was three.5 days was that her body had to get used to it before committing. Such an attitude explains how she could instruct dozens of whitewater paddlers down class IV rapids before descending one herself (that's not quite true, but it's true enough).
Anyway, two conclusions can be drawn from Laura's statement. One) nothing could stand in the way of laura's '11 August summit. Two) laura is now a weekend warrior and peak bagger.
While the technicalities of the second statement are debatable (it's friday and I'm working sat/sun), the first statement is undoubtedly true. Well, not quite true. Here's what squeeker had to say about summitting:

So yeah, we headed up to sacagawea peak (el. 9665) outside bozeman. Great hike, and you're right mike, would make a good run (minus the rocky footing). We made it up to the saddle at about 8900', maybe 3/4 of the way, and got nuked by the wind and a nasty sight of storm coming from the west. We bailed, but not before getting some pics. It started raining as we got in the car.

And now, for something completely different:
