Fun

This is a mostly random subset of pictures from various hikes I’ve been on in reverse-chronological order. I am currently 20/48 of the way through the NH48 challenge, which climbs all 48 of the 4k-footers in New Hampshire. I have also climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, and Stok Kangri, both of which are above 19,000ft.

Presidential Traverse

Supported by Jacob LD on the first and last stretch. One of the hardest days of hiking I’ve done. 7 NH48 peaks: Madison, Adams, Jefferson, Washington, Monroe, Eisenhower and Pierce.
