| I think it was June 10th, 2000 we attempted to climb Mt. Adams. We should have known by the 3 mile hike into to trail-head that it was not a good time to climb. Never the less, we gave it a whirl. If i remember correctly, we made it up to about 8500' and finally camped since we could barely see each other through the driving snow. |
| Appearantly what doesn't kill you, deadens the brain, cause no too long after this we climbed Mt. Rainier. Funny thing on the climb. I didn't feel too great the whole time, and i thought it was just my lack of training. Not that that wasn't an issue, but the day after we got back, i had to have my appendix removed. I still don't know if it was a reaction to the chili-mac dinner Josh 'shared' in the tent. I'm inclined to think so (get it? ... "inclined"). I slay me! |
| We all had just bought new crampons, and Josh decided on the way down to give them a whirl. I don't know why Ryan and i didn't. It probably would have made life considerably easier. Oh well, we made it back, but boy did we stink. |
