Okay folks, briefly, I'm off to Mt Adams. Summit day is upon us. Time has flow and much has happened. I fear I'm still not prepared. My living room floor is spread willy nilly with climbing gear, batteries, energy bars, crampons & wool socks How am I going to fit it all in my 65 liter pack ? ?
I apologize for such lousy post's, so far & few in between. Time has spun out of control, and now our final Gear Check is tomorrow morning. My only bartering point is that I promise a far longer and more detailed posting after the climb when we return to civilization. There is much to tell indeed. The almost religious Physical Therapy that I've been dedicated to for an unexpectedly tweaked ankle and shoulder, a strategically sacrificed Camp Muir attempt on Mt Rainier @ 10,000 ft last Saturday, as well as the equally unexpected passing of a dear friend, climber and fellow transplant patient whose gear I will be carrying to the summit with me and whose spirit is in my heart and is my inspiration for this utterly challenging journey. A daunting thing to happen when she had been doing so well.
Please send ton's of positive energy. I truly hope to conquer this mountain, complete this journey. Here's to living life, adventure to adventure ! Here's to a Celebration of Life. Cheers.
