7-year-old reaches summit of Mount Kilimanjaro :thumb:
Very few kids these days would be able to complete a five-mile hike, let alone a strenuous mountain hike like this one!

Mountain communities invite visitors to '3-2-1 Hiking Challenge'
Hike to the summits of three peaks in a single hike, including the highest peak in Ventura County and the highest peak in Kern County.

Wow! That looks like a great hike. That video really motivated me. How much driving would I have to do to get there from Trona?
Make Trona great again!

surfsteve: According to Google it's three hours each way. Just type "Trona CA to Mt Pinos" into Google and it should give you all the info you need. The best route skips Bakersfield, which is something I always try to do.

Some days you bag the peak, some days the peak bags you.... and sometimes it's both!

Climbing Mt. Everest doesn't look nearly as amazing as I used to imagine it would be after watching that.
Make Trona great again!

Traffic jam on a mountain. A fool's errand!

Second American trapped in Mt. Everest 'traffic jam' dies
Maybe more people should just be looking up at the summit, instead of attempting to go to the top!
