Yeah I think this one was part of the 2021 six pack of peaks, but then they had to change it to Mission Peak or something because of fire or Covid or both.

Following. I think we all are wondering about that, and in the worlds biggest hignsight, had we known then what we knew now, we would have done that park way early.
What WILL happen if that peak does not open? Will they allow for a different peak or would we be DQed?

[Jason]

I think there is a Mount Rose up by tahoe, but I think what they're talking about is Rose Peak which is in the Bay Area unless I'm wrong.

Yeah, its the one outliner. If you look at all the other peaks for 2021, they are all in the general area, but Helena is so much farther away than its next closest peak – which I guess is Diablo.

[Jason]

My suggestion would be that you still have 6 Peaks Challenge, but maybe what you do is have two other peaks as options in case one peak is too hard to get to, off limits due to fire, covid or something else. And to add a layer of challenge, you COULD make the optional two peaks harder to make it more even.

Because for me, I would rather my time commitment be on the mountain, not on the drive to or from.

But yeah, I can make some additional suggestions to add for 2022 or beyond now that i am done with Helena.

Well living in San Jose, all but one are north of us, and within range, hour, to an hour and a half. That one is like 2 and a half hours and we pass so many other options to do instead.

Its just that all the others are in the Bay area, Helena is out of the area completely.
