Mt. McKinley, Alaska, North America

Steep terrain, several thousand foot drops on either side of me, temp -20 below, hard to walk and breathe at the same time... are we having fun yet?  Yes!

"This entire trip has been the hardest physical thing I have ever done.  Makes those mere marathons seem like a piece of cake.  I have never struggled so much or found such difficulty pulling my mind though the pain.  I will be 50 in a month, and I am in awe of what a body can do when it is challenged.  No pain no gain as they say."
