  • August 9, 2007:
    • I am over half way through the year and although I wanted to get as much if not more vertical in than last year, I don't think it's going to happen.  This is somewhat disappointing considering that 2006 was well below both 2004 and 2005.  I can say that I did more technical climbing at the end of 2006 and beginning of 2007.  I ice climbed through the beginning of April and didn't go on an actual hike until May 6th.  June actually turned out to be a great snow climbing month for me as I took some time off work specifically for this purpose.  So in the three months of May, June, and July I did 91 percent of my 50,000' I have climbed so far this year.
  • October 15, 2007:
    • As predicted, it isn't likely I'll put in as much elevation as I have in previous years.  I'm even surprised I have 75K by mid October.  Alexander's Chimney and the North Face of Long's is starting to form ice.  I saw that Lincoln Falls is coming in nicely too.  Since there is now snow in the high country, I probably won't be hiking much and simply wait for ice climbing season.  I got a new set of ice tools and crampons I'm waiting to try out.
  • October 21, 2007:
    • The Rockies play the first game of the 2007 World Series on Wednesday night against the Boston Red Sox.  Go Rox!  I'm going to try and get tickets tomorrow morning.  I'm heading to the Ogden Theatre on Tuesday night to catch Alice In Chains again.  I just saw them a month ago.
  • December 2, 2007:
    • I didn't get tickets to the Rockies thankfully as the Red Sox swept them.  The AIC concert was great other than the fact that I didn't home until 4:00 am.  Needless to say, Kevin, Brian and I hit it pretty hard that night.  I'm happy to say that I've been out ice climbing a couple of times this year already.
