Abode
I've got me a new place in Alpharetta. I had hoped to find a place a bit South of there, but my desire to have lots of space won out.
The lease officially starts tomorrow; I'll probably be able to have my PODS container delivered on

Liberty Ridge ... Our Summit Camp
After summitting we set up camp in "the saddle" - the "low" (13,500' elevation) area between Liberty Cap and Columbia Crest (the true summit). It was flat, spacious and protected from the wind - which is all that I could ever really ask for.
Liberty Ridge ... Done
None of the other climbs I've done can even be compared. This was both brutal and amazing simultaneously.

I stuffed about seventy-three pounds of rope, climbing gear and weights into it for a stair-climbing session. I liked that the suspension
Fiction vs Reality
I'm about a third of the way into Atlas Shrugged, and I can't help but laugh when I see headlines about government stimulus packages and their intended benefits.
Denali 2010 Changes
My part-time (ha ha) team from Denali this year has renewed their interest in a return visit in 2010. Somehow I managed to contain my squeals of delight. I was thinking that I would probably bring entirely separate gear if it happens; tent and everything. It'll make it
