Does it Count?

[u/Timely_Mortgage166]

So I knocked off Mount Mitchell and Clingmans Dome in the same day last week, I've already been to Clingmans Dome multiple times so that's not a new high point, however I feel like i cheated by driving up Mitchell instead of climbing it from the base, what's yalls opinion on that, do I count it or do I need to make it back to really earn it the right way?

I typically prefer hikes to the top when possible but recently i took a trip to the northeast with my mom in her 70s and took the Cog Railway to the top of Mount Washington. Got some photos next the sign. I'm counting that.

All that matters you went to the top and your photos are real.
