THIS is a goal I am setting to do some day. Basically it's climbing 29,029 ft which is how tall Mt Everest is. They rent a mountain...you hike UP the mountain. Ride a Gondola back down....then hike back UP the mountain...a total of 8 times. It has INCREDIBLE support. I'd likely do a very lightweight pack as you won't hardly have to carry anything at all...but it's also VERY expensive as it includes your room. $6795 dollars for the Salt Lake City one. I WILL do this some day. Does this sound like fun to you? It does me! :-) https://29029everesting.com/

Who has travel plans in the next 6 months? Where are you headed and what is the purpose? Planned trips Sacramento Atlanta Missouri/Houston Rocky point I ask this hoping to team up with anyone who wants to meet up if we happen to be in the same city. I just missed a great opportunity when I traveled to Savannah. I don't want to miss that opportunity again. Drop it in the chat!

Sorry I haven't been on here much. It has been a really bad week work wise. They laid off 300 of my co-workers. I probably knew at least 20 or 30 of them and worked with them. My team was also hit making me the sole US resource on my team and also making me the only person to cover on call on the weekends as my Mexico teammates no longer can do on call on the weekends due to Mexican law changes. To top it all off...we're expecting 8-12 inches of snow. They even moved up my church service. The only thing the last few days that has been my solace is doing the work. Off to the gym for a run.

I have the day off work so why not go ruck? Was planning a long run but some friends brought it up so I said let's freaking go!
