A Few Words: Greetings fellow climbers! This is the greatest sport....its free! I share your strong passion for climbing our world's highest peaks ...I'm talk'in places that really take your breath away! I started climbing on the Cascades back in college making multiple attempts up Mt. Rainier (14,411'). In 2010 planning to climb Pico de Orizaba in Mexico in January, then get to Tanzania and climb Kilimanjaro before all the ice melts. In 2011 I'm aiming for a summit climb up Everest with partners and under some sort of sponsorship. My team skills include basic 1st Aid & CPR, 5yrs on a search & rescue team, licensed radio operator, weather analysis using 'borrowed' company weather forcasts, and tieing climbing knots with cold fingers in a hurry. PM me if you would like to climb together. Cheers to your summit attempts:)
