Climbing Mt. Whitney, the tallest mountain in the contiguous USA!

Last week, I summited Mt. Whitney. Mt. Whitney is the tallest mountain in the lower 48 states, standing 14,497 feet! It was a feat two years in the making, having attempted to summit it last year unsuccessfully, making it 900 feet from the summit. It was extremely challenging and rewarding, and my success proves that hard work, determination, and perseverance pay off.
