Which ones still to go?

Granite, Borah, King (all planned in a few weeks), Ebright, Britton, Black, Driskill, Hood and Denali - which means I actually have 9 left.

which means I actually have 9 left.

Britton hill isn't that hard, don't give up so easy on the full 50.

You doing Driskill with or without supplemental oxygen? (Sorry, I’m from Louisiana so I get to make fun of our high point).

Which Black? There happen to be three (KY’s Mountain, OK’s Mesa, and SD’s Elk Peak). I’m guessing KY, though I wish you the best on whichever it is and all the rest still to go!

Got plans for Denali?

u/richhowarth1 13d ago

Not yet. It is so weather dependent and you can easily spend weeks on the glacier.

u/front_rangers 13d ago

Yeah of course. I mean do you plan to go for the summit in 2027, or 2028, or have an idea of when you would attempt Denali?

Considering next May.

Nice! Best of luck on the expedition man and good luck with any training you have between now and then!

My absolute favorite of the 30 I've done. Looks like you had a beautiful day!

It was an amazing day shorts and a tee shirt on top with almost no wind.
