"So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life."

Route Climbed: Normal Date Climbed: 24 December 2003Acclimitization hike for bigger mountains. Relatively easy, in my typical fashion, no summit register but I did get to have a bit to eat at the crossed ski poles. Visibility was low, and nothing else was visible from the summit.

Route Climbed: NW Ridge Date Climbed: December 14, 2003Climbed from the north side, starting from the Nature Preserve visitor´s center, thinking that this was the normal route. As a result of our confusion, instead an easy 2-3 hour acclimatization hike, we thrashed our way up a 1,600m ascent, including a very wet 50m of class 5 rock and 70 degree mud. The descent of this section may turn out to be the most technically challenging of the entire trip. Definitely not the acclimatization hike that I was hoping for. The weather was horrible with almost no visibility and periods of rain. We definitely reached a high point on the crater rim, but I´m not sure if this was the true summit due to the poor visibility.

Date Climbed: April, 2002Very pleasant climb, and excellent for aclimatizing. Didn't get a clear day but it has sure a great vista of surrounding volcanoes!
