IT’S in human nature that we strive to achieve an incredible feat. One such conquest is to climb the highest peaks of the world, which for many, is unachievable due to skill, health and time. It can challenge your mind and body, not to mention your wallet. Why not look a little closer, and take on what’s called the State 8 Peaks, walking the summit of each state and territory’s highest mountain as a challenge for the new year?
