Goals

We have lots of goals for this trip, but clearly one of the most important is to climb some awesome new routes. With only sparse information about the range and a handful of photos, we are geared up for a lot of different scenarious. Rain, Snow; Hot, Cold; Rock, Ice; Choss, Granite; Known, Unknown. Included below are some of the interesting lines we've spotted in the photos we have. What's amazing is there is plenty more we've never seen and more options than we could possibly climb in a single trip.

Before you start drooling, take a minute to check out our latest sponsors: Justropes.com and HemCon Medical Technologies. JustRopes donated the team's ropes for the expedition, as well as a rope to the Alpine Fund. They're a great outfit run by climbers with a fabulous selection and good prices. HemCon donated a huge assortment of super awesome hemostatic (yeah, big word, Google it) bandages; good for soldiers, good for us.






Only a few days left at home! Time to savor favorite meals, comfortable beds, and hot showers.
