Trip Update: Longs Peak - GOALØ
I had a great time in spite of being unable to acclimate. Set a new personal record for number of nights spent winter camping at semi-high altitude, 10,200 ft. above sea level. Conditions were great and I never needed the face mask and goggles.

The route Mark Phillips
and I are working on. "It's A Wiggle Butt" (5.8+). From the guidebook:
The crux is figuring out how to maneuver the polished rock to the 4th bolt.
I didn't! Only to the third bolt. It was my first try at lead climbing and
also the first time Mr. Phillips had belayed a climber. Everything went
very well.

The last couple years I've been looking into setting up a solar power rig for my adventures. After looking around at what was available at that time I was dismayed by the cost, weight and other various drawbacks. Well brother I gotta tell you this new equipment coming out looks very promising. Check out the video.
