Re: My summer, the wrap-up

Hey guys,

Phenominal people and fantastic places. I feel incredibly lucky to be able to get out and enjoy them and post the pics to share the experience. They are magical moments.

A rough list of where the pics are taken:
1-3 Ice Cliff Glacier on Mt Stuart, Leavenworth, WA
4,5 Frenchmen's Coulee, Vantage, WA
6-10 Columbia River, from Portland, OR to Longview, WA
11-16 Eldorado Peak, N Cascades Nat'l Park, Marblemount, WA
17-19 Mt Triumph, N Cascades again
20-24 Black Peak, N Cascades
25-37 Mt Waddington, Claw Peak, Dragonback Peak, Serra One; Waddington Range, British Columbia

And the last pic (below), the incredibly generous Tim and Donna with me just before I left to head back to Phoenix. Another heartfelt thanks guys!

It was a magical summer and I got to go many cool places, which only made me realize I have many MORE cool places to go now. Also, some routes I got onto I didn't get up, and some that I wanted to get on I never got in to, so there's always something to come back for in the NW!

Neal- Yeah, too bad we didn't connect but as you can see I was a little busy. I am looking to get back up there permanently in the next year or two though, so I'd imagine our paths will cross.

David (Marx)- Everyone finds their own thrills. Sounds like you've found yours. Enjoy the crap out of it!
