Congrats on your ascent to LPL.

For me:

Main Trail
First time - LPL
Second time - Mirror Lake
Third time - Not far above Mirror Lake
Fourth time - About one mile from the summit
Fifth Time - Summit

Mountaineer's Route
First time - Upper Boy Scout Lake
Second time - Iceberg Lake
Third time - Lower Boy Scout Lake (long story)

Sometimes it comes in increments. It's different for everyone.

If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt, we must leave them more than the miracle of technology. We must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through with it.
- Lyndon Johnson, on signing the Wilderness Act into law (1964)
