summitted

Attained the apex

Summitted is the past tense of summit used as a verb, meaning to reach the top of a mountain or peak: We summitted Denali at dawn.

The word is standard in climbing and mountaineering circles, though some consider it informal since summit traditionally functions only as a noun.

After three failed attempts, she finally summitted.
