FRANCE! Huge DX making it to France was super exciting! Big shout-out to Jeremy NJ6Q and Gordon AA7TQ, my CW Academy instructors, for chasing me. It's awesome to have people who support you and will go out of their way to help you with your CW goals!
9 QSOs, and I also got my first CW Summit to Summit to Montana, which was also really great. I hope to get my 40 meter coil working as I would like to try to get some contacts on something other than 20 meters.

▮ The route
The first 1.5 miles of this hike is very easy, but do not be fooled, the last half mile up to the summit is extremely tough! When you are on the last leg up to the summit, the trail comes and goes and reduces down to ~8 inches wide.
