Re: ClimbThanks. It's not as dramatic as many of the photos on SP but this is a sentimental favorite of mine. My brother and his friends were about 45 minutes ahead of us. We were talking on walkie talkies when he realized that Jonathan and I were just below the summit and they started cheering us on. It's then that my son turned and held out his hand. We're real pals and I nearly hyperventilated choking back tears. We were within a 1000 feet of the summit last year when he ran out of gas so I was really happy for him. Since then he's been to the top again with the rest of our family.
My son and I have been treking and mountaineering for 2 years. I made him take a basic class with me. He has his own crampons and ice ax and knows how to use them. We have great times together. Mountaineering is what you make of it. Luckily mountains and their challenges come in all shapes and sizes. It's a wonderful way to spend quality time with your kids and family. I highly recommend it.

Re: ClimbYeah. I'm into it with my oldest son. I think that's why I understood and commented on it. Nothing better than climbing with a son. It probably really hit home for me because I sent my son away this year to a private school and it's hard to get used to.

Re: ClimbI'm sure you miss him. I know it will make those next adventures together that much more special!
