Here is my schedule:
- Tuesday - fly from Jacksonville to Seattle
- Wednesday - check out the REI store in Seattle and drive 2 hours to the base of the mountain for gear rental and Orientation starting at 3:00
- Thursday - all day mountaineering day school - learn all skills necessary for the climb, especially the very important "self arrest"
- Friday - leave in the morning and climb 10,000 ft to Camp Muir, spend the night, or part of it at least - we depart Camp Muir at 1:00 a.m. and begin the climb to the summit
- Saturday morning - hopefully summit
- Saturday afternoon - reach the basecamp
- Sunday morning - fly from Seattle back to Jacksonville.
So, if you are checking the blog, make sure you check in on Saturday to see if I made it to the top!!
You Da Mann

I can imagine your excitement and anticipation for this endeavor. Good Luck, Dr. B.
Dude, you even grew a beard for the event. You look like a mountain man. I have always had an interest in mountaineering but never pulled the trigger. I now feel inspired. Being outdoors is good for the soul. Enjoy! Morgan
