Just wanted to share- i finally completed my goal- my first mountain.
Mount Louie, Grande Cache, Alberta. 6075 ft elevation, 11.58km (round trip). It took me 5 hours with all my breaks lol. It was really hard on my body. Heart rate monitor read 5000cals burnt. OMG. Legs were jelly for 2 days but now im good. I went with two women who were borderline 50 and they KICKED my *kitten*! amazing..We couldn't stay long at the top because it started to thunder and lightning. I purchased my "passport to the peaks". basically a small touristy binder that includes all mountain maps, and info, elevation, estimated days to accomplish etc. at the top of each mountain theres a carin and it has a seal stamp to stamp your page of that mountain. YUP i got my first stamp!
