Hello climbers, I've spent most of my life pointing at peaks and casually heading out and bagging them, probably well over a hundred. Although I've never summited a mountain that required more than bouldering and light climbing.
I have now reached a point where i have a fever to get into real rock/ice climbing, ropes, ice axes, crampons etc.
I've been reading everything I can get my hands on, and starting to get into shape. In a few weeks I will be in Alaska and do some observing and classes and also climb some minor stuff while working up there.
But my purpose here is to read as much as possible to learn and ask some likely dumb questions (if you will indulge my ignorance).
Thanks for having me. I look forward to the sites expertise.
