If there is any possibility then I will be...
Gully Climbing Rocks!
Thanks MT - I feel much more confident in my skills now than I did 2 months ago! This is mostly because I am feeling more comfortable with heights and being roped up.
There was definitely a lot of adrenaline on Sat. during this climb, but excitment as well!
Many thanks...
what a party!
TC- that was a GREAT party!! Tequila shots and dancing!!! :D Sorry I didn't make the hangover hike, but gully climbing on Sat and the rockin' time at the Disco Dump basically did me in :D :eek:
Great to see many VFTTers that I haven't run into in a longgg time!
Thanks again!
Signed Up!
I signed up for Mt Blanc this week!! :D :eek: :)

What a great outing this was!! Many thanks to Giggy, Jenn, Adam, Arm, Woody and Alan for giving me tips and encouragement on my first alpine gully climb! It was great to meet up with so many other VFTTer's in Gorham. :D :)

Change In Day
HIKE ON SUNDAY!!
I just spoke with Peter (Townie) and he is moving this hike until Sunday. Same time, same place.
Hope you can join us!! :)
It's all good! No harm done - opinions are good - opinions on the subject are even better... :D
I've got a lot of momentum here because of you guys and it brings back the realization that the prep toward the event is just as good as the event it self! I have 4-5 months of getting in better...
