"#47 of the 50 state high points and first one in a few years since COVID! Whitney was 4 years in the making shutdown by forest fire and COVID border closures. East Face 5.6 with some snow for a 22 hour adventure!" — alexjoseph • Oct 14, 2022

"Day hike from Glacier Lodge. We had two “young guns” with us to carry the ropes; one of the benefits of being older. I did this in poor form because I did not tag Mt Jepson while I was there, but I had the worst altitude sickness. I guess I’ve spent too much time in the low lands as of late. While we brought ropes, we didn’t use them once. We found the ridge traverse to be the most difficult part of the climb due to the large amount of objective hazard. No fish in Elinor Lake. This will be my last major hike until my daughter is born in late November." — seancasserly • Oct 2, 2022

"One of the most amazing days I've spent on a mountain in a very long time. Beautiful views, beautiful weather, amazing company. Not my hardest 14er by any means but still extremely grateful to be the tallest girl in the lower 48 for a moment." — CheshireKatt13 • Sep 20, 2022

"Long day started at my tent in big pine creek campground. 13 hour day. I missed easier trails and found harder scree and loose rocks to try and navigate. I can say going up I was solo never saw any other person all day. I was pretty gripped at the stuff I was climbing up mainly the thought of down climbing it. However from above I saw a quite simple descent path all class 3. I climbed up to far to the left close to the ridge." — ryancoburn • Aug 31, 2022
