Saving the Toughest for Last: 50th Completers’ Final U.S. State High Points
21 Pages Posted:
Date Written: December 27, 2023
Abstract
This paper finds that the most difficult U.S. state high point climbs are saved for the end. 50th completers are significantly more likely to save more difficult U.S. state high points for their final high point ascent. There is also some more limited evidence that 50th completers save more distant high points for their final ascent.
