Maybe just one more degree today.

Central peak; number 4 I think.
After reaching the summit, I found a difference in longitude of 0.68 degrees from this image to the summit, meaning the mountain was 29km away.

As is often the case, the panorama at the summit was underwhelming.

Ten degrees travelled today - and ten more to go! That makes the circumnavigation 97% complete. Tomorrow could be the day.

Been following this journey as a lurker all along. You’re almost there!
I thought I saw someone in my rearview mirror. To quote the Sundance Kid, "Who are those guys?".
Yes, almost done.
I feel like Phileas Fogg when he realised he'd travelled round the world in 79 days, apparently losing a day when crossing The Date Line. This image from the spreadsheet I'm using to track the journey shows that I actually started on a longitude of -110.6273. This means I have 26.7 fewer kilometres to travel than I thought in order to complete the circumnavigation.
It might not sound like much, but with 14,900km of driving behind me, it's very welcome.

My driving/flying seems to be getting worse. I need to go see a physio to work on the Gordian knots in my shoulder muscles.
