Planning just starting

Well, it has been nearly three months since my first post, and I finally have information worth posting at this point. After much thought, research, and discussion, Matt and I have decided to climb Denali unguided. We are attempting to locate two more climbers to form a four-person expedition--we have a strong lead on a possible third at this point.

This week we talk with our boss about an early departure in June from our jobs to get an early June start on the mountain. Hopefully, all will go well with this. My training specifically for this trip has not really begun as of yet. I did climb many 14ers in Colorado this summer and have plans to climb many more. Tomorrow, October 1, I plan to begin ramping up the aerobic conditioning--mostly via running for now.

Very soon we will be purchasing reservations for the flight from Talkeetna to the glacier. More updates then.
