It's weird because you're well above 10,000... the air is thin and you're still looking straight up at a mountain. It's unreal. But to get from road to summit is near impossible. So the climb is on other side.

Most people there aren't the traditional climbers; they drove up on a road (similar to Pike's Peak) to about 13,000 feet.

Iโve seen what happens overseas when people stop trusting those with guns and uniforms. You get unrest, insurgency, and extreme violence. Thatโs not stability โ itโs chaos. Our job is to keep that chaos outside of American soil, not to create it at home.
