After 132 High Peak summits, I finally got the last of the ADK 46ers done! 🎉 Big Slide was a great peak to end on, too! It was Jo’s and Phin’s first High Peak, so it was pretty special to do as a family. 🧡

It’s been quite the journey over the past three years, shared with many, many people. And I can’t wait to climb these amazing mountains again and again!

(46er #16461)
