I climbed Mt. LeConte in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park after having both hips replaced! My left hip was done on July 2, 2025, and right hip on Nov. 12, 2025. Four months after my last hip replacement, I went up Mt. LeConte on March 11, 2026 to spend a week and a half working with the helicopter to help get LeConte Lodge ready for the 2026 season. Thanks, Dr. Nadaud!
