#1 Strawberry Peak

I got really sick last year and was unable to start the Challenge. I survived, and this year I’m attempting all 12 options. I started with Strawberry Peak! It was a clear day with an easy, cool start. The scramble in the final mile was fun but tough. There wasn’t a sign at the summit, but I had the place to myself for a nice snack before a descent in the heat. Overall, a success for Peak 1 of 2025!
