Followup to 2017 Challenge (Tahoe Rim Trail)

Since I did not keep up with all the blogging for my whole challenge and the year is coming to a finish I wanted to throw up some basic information about how the challenge went.

In re-reading that blog post I left ALL the Desolation peaks off the list, not sure why especially since I decided to do a week long backpacking trip in Desolation to take care of those.  Desolation has 13 peaks in total..of which I accomplished 10.  Dick’s Peak I was the first to activate. Also managed to activate 9310 during the solar eclipse.  The peaks I did not accomplish were 9420, Little Pyramid, and Mount Price all on the western spine of Desolation.

In total I count 36 peaks and I finished 25 of them, that leaves me with 11 peaks.

I also realized now that I have knocked off most of my local peaks that I will have to do a bit of planning and driving now to start getting more..  All part of the fun!

Love playing in the outdoors, Amateur Radio operator. Since I love hiking and bagging peaks, I picked up Summits on the Air back in 2015. Made Mountain Goat (and Shack Sloth) in early 2019. Double Goat in 2021 as a double activation with W6PNG.
