Good luck!

Good luck with all the TBR mountains!

So glad 2024 went well for you. Welcome to the 2025 climb!

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!

This is the place to link up your Mount Olympus level reads. Just click on "El Toro" under discussions. Then click "new topic," give it a name [example: Bev's Climb], and post an opening comment to start your climb.
