Brief Rest at Camp Curtis
http://cureclimb.blogspot.com/2008/08/brief-rest-at-camp-curtis.html
Saturday, August 2, 2008. Brief Rest at Camp Curtis. After the endless climb up the Interglacier, it was great to look over the far side of the ridge to look down on the flowing, crevassed Emmons glacier. Looking back down the ridge: John, Bob, the Camp Curtis tent sites, Mount Ruth, and the lower Emmons. We had ascended the Interglacier from the left. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Saturday, May 31, 2008. By the way, the marathon went much better than I thought (or feared) it would (maybe this bodes well for the Rainier climb?

Friday, February 29, 2008. This Looks More Like a Descent. The punishment for Mystic-Leg-Press Hubris. Apparently, is back pain. Two days after impressing myself with my own leg strength at the gym, I tweaked my back badly enough (moving a bed) that I've only been able to work out twice in the last two weeks (my house has also been plagued by a nasty, lingering, flu-like virus, which we've all had to one degree or another). All of these things are making me cranky. Week 1 actual mileage: 12 (24). Sorry t...

Tuesday, August 5, 2008. On to Camp Schurman. After dropping from Camp Curtis to the Emmons glacier (circumventing and stepping over crevasses for the first time), we followed the Montanans up to Camp Schurman. Along the way, it started to snow. After some unpleasant standing around in the wet snowfall, we pitched our tents and settled in. This would be home for the next few days. Bob and Rob's camp:. We tried to be perky and glad. But the truth is, it was a hard, hard day. Saturday, August 2, 2008.

Camp Schurman (Resting Up)
http://cureclimb.blogspot.com/2008/09/camp-schurman-resting-up_05.html
Friday, September 5, 2008. Camp Schurman (Resting Up). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Week of June 22, 2008. 14,410 Feet of Up:. WE MADE IT TO THE SUMMIT! AND WE RAISED $4147 FOR CURESEARCH. Climbing the Real Mountain. Mt Rainier is a grueling climb fraught with hidden pitfalls and sudden changes of weather. Half of climbers never make it to the summit. But hey, after 2-1/2 years of chemotherapy, my 8-year-old son Fergus knows all about climbs like this. In whatever small way you can.
