Gear, gear, everywhere

There is more gear to deal with then expected. Layers is the theme to
the clothing. Everything needs to stay organized

So far this year only 76% of guided climbers have made it to the summit.

Tomorrow starts the mountaineering school. Self arrests are the main
topic. We will be skidding down the snow slopes and learning to stop
ourselves with an ice axe. Should come quit naturally to someone who
sees snow once a year.

Talk to you tomorrow.

  1. In honor of your endeavor here are a few words of wisdom:

    +Safety first.
    +The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
    +Watch your step.
    +In thru the nose, out through the mouth.
    +Slippery when wet.
    +Don't peak too soon.
    +Take your time.
    +Easy does it.
    +Next step is a doozy.
    +Break a leg (oops, disregard this one...I couldn't find the backspace key)

    GOOD LUCK!

    Good Luck tomorrow,
