I attempted this climb about two and a half weeks prior, but I have pulmonary issues, and I had to turn around at about two miles from the summit. My return trip was successful, but no less difficult. I realized I’ll never make all 46 with my pulmonary hypertension. It saps every ounce of my energy. I’ll keep plugging along for as long as I can though. It was an absolutely gorgeous day when I summited Sawteeth Mountain, and finally got double digits, as this was number 10 of 46.
