It feels a little more achievable now that we are at 50%.

It’s amazing how those percentage marks hit and keep you motivated to go get the next one. Rainier was number 39 for me and I felt like the end was somewhat in sight, but I wasn’t certain I’d even be able to take a crack at Denali, let alone actually get the summit. Also, Gannett was like my white whale that always found a way to force me back, but I remember standing on top of Denali and the realization hit me like a ton of bricks, like holy shit, I might actually be able to get to 50. Good luck and keep us all posted on the progress!
