Me on Mount Rainier (7/20/09) EastKing Male, 32 years old Seattle, Washington, United States Power = 1055 (Vote Weight = 96.4%) Loading... Occupation: Unfortunately Website: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=75932001 A Few Words: I WANT TO GO FOR GRAND TETON BY 2011 LIFE WITHOUT SUMMITS WOULD REALLY SUCK I laugh about the time I first joined this site. At the time I was in New Hampshire and I realized how little that state was represented on the site (2001). I then joined and was determined to show that area of the country the best I could about that area. EastKing was suppose to be my slogan for writing up on the east coast. My ambitious goal was to show the world through this website what the Appalachian Mountains really looked like. Ironically now I am on the west coast due to this very website. When I looked at the mountains in Washington State and California I viewed them as impossiblities. The more though I read the site the more I realized that these mountains were possible and slowly but surely the fever came on. In fact it was is site that eventually motivated me to move from New Hampshire to Seattle. It is funny as I now attempt mountains I only fantisized about a couple of years ago. Now I weigh the same as I did at the age of 13 while lifting nearly my all time max in bench press. The biggest diet MOUNTAINS . I live them and breath them and am a complete addict to them. One thing I do want to say is that I still have a lot of work to do. I still have issues with knife edges and Class 4 unroped manevers. Give me a rope and I am game for anything. That will slowly come with more experience but it is one think I do want to work on in the future.
