Circa 1981 somewhere near Mentasta Alaska at a house we were staying at for the summer construction season. Wishing I was in Yosemite Valley at the time, I was doing some rather difficult moves to get up onto the porch platform you can see the shadow of. Of course I didn't have far to fall in this case. The only rule is once your body leaves the ground it can't touch it again till you're up. Nowdays I am pretty happy going up the regular (or as climbers say, tourist) route.163 days ago

I still want to do blogs on some of my past climbs, but I want to concentrate forward as much as possible, which has kept me away from this site for some time. I have enjoyed and admired my friends on spaces who have shared their running and biking, and although this is a little scary, I will try to do the same here. After a winter fraught with cold weather and intermittent high winds it has been a wonderful 20 something degrees and relatively light winds since mid February. I got back on my skis and have managed to work out every day since, augmenting the ski program with a couple indoor run/walks. So far I have logged 50K on my skis, not bad for the first couple weeks and a cold start, and 10K in two sessions of run/walk. Anchorage has some 150K of groomed trails, many are lighted, and the only indoor 400 meter track in North America at ...
