Getting in Shape

I climbed Mt. Baker over the weekend. First glacier travel summit at 10,778 ft! About 750ft. higher than I was last weekend at Camp Muir on Mt. Rainier. Very exciting! Now I'll have the STP bike ride, and hopefully a summit of Rainier before I leave for some notable training activities before Nepal.

Speaking of climbing, I was reminded of the dangers hearing that my friend was airlifted from Mt. Hood via helicopter and now has a metal rod in his leg. Safety, safety, safety. Unfortunately, despite good conditions, accidents are prone to happen. Especially now that I am exposing myself to more risks on glaciers I only hope that I can avoid one for as long as possible! Especially while abroad...

Also good news, got all my prescriptions for abroad! No getting sick for me :)
