Hugh Gaasch of the 12 day Mountaineering course called in from their new camp down glacier in Little switzerland. They are all having a good time and learning a ton. Winslow, Hugh and Ben and the the whole class are probably within striking distance of some of the best granite rock climbing in the Alaska Range. Hugh had seen the plane drop off the Wounded Warriors at the landing strip on the Pika Glacier. Their team will spend the day tomorrow doing lots of classes to get ready for a bunch of camp moving

Patrick packs and weighs his lunch food for the expedition. He'll be heading out with guides Tim Hewette and Alex Stroud later today. Each person packs 3/4 to one pound of lunch food per day, including hot and cold drink mixes. This equals 15 to 21 pounds to carry. We have them choose their own food so they pack what they like. It is hard to have an appetite at altitude so if you don't like it down here your sure as heck not going to like it any better up there.

Here are a few "speed" tricks for big routes that are primarily multi-pitch without walking steps (those steps call for T Bloks etc., not covered here). -Use a single 70M rope to lead on. This cuts ...

I really have some mixed emotions reporting this news today and have waited in order to get my own thoughts in line.. David Tait Calls Off Double-Traverse David Tait has called off his Double-Traverse of Everest after successfully summiting from the North to the South side two days ago. I will let David explain from his own post on his Expedition Blog : We had achieved Bc to Bc at last. However, during the later part of the endless painful descent I realised two things. Firstly, I was not going to be ...
