Thanks guys. The exciting part is just beginning. Most of this stuff was an intensive shot at trying to get in shape. My next climbing partner just got back from a month on Denali and is about 10 years younger than me. I've been driving a desk for the past year and a half... Gonna get my butt kicked.

And Dalton, I'd hardly call it conquering. It's more like the mountains let you in and sneak up and down them quietly, enjoying the physical and mental challenges. They are amazing experiences.

More pics to come in the next week or two...
