Welcome to my blog. Est. 10/21/05

This is a photo of North Peak in Yosemite. Last weekend I had the exhausting but rewarding experience of hiking and climbing the right coulier. I learned a few important things: (1) never say "no" to a sherpa, (2) technical clothing can even keep *me* warm, (3) a boulderer should only attempt mountaineering if he/she has an intelligent guide from Oregon.
