I also recently reached the 500 point level as a SOTA Chaser. Points as a Chaser come much more rapidly. My goal as a Chaser is to achieve "Shack Sloth" status, again requiring 1,000 points...at current rates I will likely be a Shack Sloth by early spring, 2017. I really enjoy working other operators who have made the effort to reach the highest peaks, some of which are very challenging.
