Standing On Top

Schedule to make it real

I thought I would post schedule and confirmed trips to high places. Here is what I have so far. I have started acquiring gear and have scheduled training this winter on some local terrain. Although I think I could prepare in 1 year. I am looking at a three year plan so that I can build massive endurance and guarantee my success as best I can. This winter I start by climbing local bumps with a backpack full of scuba lead.

Mt Mauna Loa (13,681 Ft) March 2008 (Confirmed) 2 days
Mt. Whitney Summit Summer Climb (14,495 ft) July 2008 2 Days
Mt. Whitney Spring Ice Climb Mountaineer’s Route (14,495 ft) March 2009 4 days Training Trip Ice Skills
Ecuador Volcanoes Chimborazo (20,561 ft) and Cotopaxi (19,347 ft) June 2009 13 Days
Everest North Col (23074 ft) April 2010 27 Days

Hi! I randomly ended up on your blog after searching for info on barefoot running, but as an avid armchair mountaineer (heh) I got caught up in your mountain posts. Are you still pursuing the high places?

Not at the pace I was. I still have some pretty solid goals yet they have been on hold due to financial and other priorities.
I still see a trip to Ecuador in the near future and possibly Rainier. From there I will decide next.

Cool, I look forward to reading about your training and climbs. My husband climbed Rainier this summer but I’m too big of a wuss on steep snow to attempt it myself..
