Mountaineering

by micheledodge on September 2, 2006

I really want to get into mountaineering. I’ve been kind of obsessed lately. I want to learn rock climbing and ice climbing technqiues, and get out there bivouaking and making summit bids. I have visions of crampons and ice axes dancing through my head. If anyone reading this is into mountaineering or rock-climbing, please contact me. I have a ton of questions. I’d like to start with Mt. Whitney because is a respectable sized mountain, yet fairly accessible by the inexperienced. I haven’t climbed anything much over 12,000 feet to date. If I enjoy Whitney, on to the Cascades volcanoes… I’d love to climb Rainier! I don’t think I’ll ever be making a bid on K2, but these lesser mountains would make me happy.

Question of the Day: Do you think people who climb mountains like K2 and Everest are nuts?
