Who I'd like to meet: climbers, explorers, writers, photographers, snow monkeys, other hopeless pantagruelists...please feel free to email your questions/comments, esp. if you are a climber or interested in climbing...
Just stopping by to say G'day and pleased to meet you. It's nice to see there's still climbers in the world who care for others on the mountains, and aren't lost in the crazy summit bagging single minded drive.
You and all those involved in the rescue attempt of Iñaki Ochoa are true heroes. My thoughts and prayers go out to Iñaki's family and friends. Praying that everyone gets back down the mountain safely.
i can't remember the last time i laughed myself practically to death like we did at annapurna base camp playing that stupid "liar" game with the german and hungarian contingent...
Don you can tell Amblur that the water is good because we grow it up here and I take such good care of it on the way down to LA. Sept for all those dead rabbits floating in Hawiee reservoir.
This morning on the radio I heard that LA made the list of cities who have the best tasting water. Would Don like to share with the rest of the class WHY the water in LA has such a distinctly sweet flavor? Hmm?
