 How did you feel once you became a 53er:  I felt a giant sense of accomplishment. All my hard work has finally paid off. I'm 30 lbs lighter and able and ready to take on just about any hike. My number of friends has increased 10 fold. Most of all, I truly feel like an elite member of the best club in Vegas! 

 Advice for new hikers: Enjoy every hike. Never give up. Push yourself to your limits and beyond. You only live once, so get your ass off the couch and get out there and enjoy this beautiful planet we live on.
