Hi Laura! I know you are focused on Ironman training now, but have you ever thought of climbing the Snow Leopard Peaks of the former Soviet Union (Khan Tengri, Lenin Peak, Pik Ismail Somoni, Korzhenevskoi Peak, Pik Pobeda)? With the possible exception of Khan Tengri, they are all above 7,000 meters and are of varying difficulty, with Lenin Peak being the easiest and Pik Pobeda being the hardest by far. Also, I wanted to thank you for introducing me to the US State Highpoints! The first time I ever came across the activity was on one of your videos. Just wondering: How many state high points are you at right now out of 50? Finally, are you planning for Mt. Denali to be your last state high point? Thank you Laura! Good luck with your Ironman training! I feel like triathlons are definitely one of the best ways to train for the outdoors and mountaineering.
Hi there! Some great questions!!! I have for sure looked into a few 7000m peaks. Mainly lenin peak I've heard is the "easiest" of the 7000. I think I'd like to be chasing Denali over it though still. I'm so glad you've enjoyed my videos 💕. I'm currently at 16 but a big roadtrip would be in order. Perhaps next year and I bet I could do about 20 peaks in that time. Denali wouldn't be my final of the peaks. But it's right up there with an ironman and a life goal. :)
@@LauraLeanneWishing you luck on the Ironman! In the future, for Denali, which route do you want to do? West Buttress? Or one of the unconventional ones like Muldrow Glacier?
@@archiechesler439 thank you so much!! I will be sticking with conventional. I like meeting more people and I'm not as technically good. I'm just good at not giving up :)
