Mount TBR Challenge 2025 discussion

So in 2021 & 2022, I made my goal of Everest and even made my dream-goal of Mount Olympus. I'm not sure if that will ever happen again. This year I'm going to go back on a search for the Yeti before loading my spaceship for Mars and Olympus. Hopefully I'll make better time in the new year.

If you'd like to join me on the trek up Mount Everest, just open a new topic and name your climb. See you in 2025!
