Climbing atop this mountain is easily the most difficult activity that has challenged me both physically and mentally. I knew what I'd signed up for when I'd decided I wanted to get up this mountain standing so monstrously tall but experiencing this treacherous climb is something that will stay with me for the rest of my living days. I had dreamt of scaling this humongous Friendship Peak way back in 2018 post my last trek and then as luck would have it, COVID struck and all of it went on a back burner. But maybe I was destined to accomplish this and my coach at All In Running and the ALL IN team would leave no stone unturned in the last few months to prepare me for this expedition.
