How many of you have climbed a 14'er? I'd do that first. Hike Half Dome

lightmann

I've always wondered how the two compare?

kolob32

Rainier overall is more strenuous than a marathon. But you stop and take breaks. Summit day for

I hiked Mount Whitney without any training

I didn't really mind the altitude
