Maybe include altitude in both metres and feet, otherwise 80% of comments will be about that whole discussion.

    Longs Peak Colorado (14259ft / 4345m). A lot of people get altitude sickness on this one and my girlfriend at the time did. So I left her behind. Jk. We eventually made it to the top. It was an amazing view and only took us the day but we had to get started early in then morning (like 5am) so that we were done before it got dark in the evening.

      Just did Long’s this past week for the 2nd time, my wife had to get revenge on this mountain after getting psyched out on the trough 13 years ago. absolute pain in the ass of a mountain but a beautiful experience at the same time… we call it “type 2 fun”, meaning you might not enjoy it while you’re doing it but you’re glad you did it once it’s over.
