Praying Denali gives you a shot. Amazingly proud of all of you! Hang in there and embrace the boredom you’ll be back in the chaos soon enough.
Onward and upward!

Following your blog. Enjoying reading a ‘real’ blog expressing your fears, concerns, obstacles that you face. I look forward to following you. This is going to be an awesome journey because Annapurna is no cake walk—keep us posted even on the days when you feel like crying. :)
Be safe.

Alex, your living my dream! What you are attempting to do is extraordinary and just attempting such a climb makes you a legend in my book. Be safe and as I’m sure you already know I will say it again to help ingrain it into your head. Become one with the mountain. Feel it. Become part of it and most importantly listen to it. I really want you to make it down so one day I can shake your hand and buy you a beer!

Enjoy the rest days. When the hots are up, go get um…fill up with all the great oatmeal and pasta your guide prepare for you. Summit day is a bit long, but well worth the effort when you step onto the top. Git-er-done team two!!! Hey Pete…hope you’re enjoying #2…remember…only one trip up to the summit this time!!!
Erin, team one member.
