She did it! Three years in the making and after thwarted winter attempts, Karen summited Catamount Mountain to complete her winter round of the @lakeplacid9er challenge! 🥳 🏔️ Fresh snow helped a ton to cover the glare ice underneath, but our spikes were definitely needed from bottom to top. We lucked out with great views, sun, and no wind! The clouds held off until we were descending. Well done, Karen, your joyful outlook made the day great!
