What an amazing accomplishment. You've done something that few people ever will!!

Thanks! but...I know many people go there. Especially in the warmer season it can get quite crowded but I guess "few" is relative. For me, I would have to be within the first 10 or so that climbed it to really consider myself one of the "few". Better would be to do the first ascent and maybe get to name a peak...
Don't think of it as a competition.........who gets there first, how high they climb etc. Think of it in terms of completing a check list of things to do in life - a bucket list in other words. As you age you will slow down, and competition becomes less important. Experiencing life is what it is really all about......and that is exactly what you are doing!
You are right. When you go up in the mountains, you should care very little about records or what others or the outside world might think of your actions. It all should revolve around your own reasons for doing what you are doing. As long as you are out there basically exploring yourself and enjoying overcoming the challenges you line up to face, all is good.
Absolutely!!
