AM - 13 miles. Alta Lodge up to the campground and back w/ Andrea (8 miles) via the summer road, then tacked on another out and back. First run up there in almost two years. Time can really fly.

We saw a very good documentary a couple nights ago - Meru. Worth checking out if its playing in your neighborhood.

That looks interesting. For some reason I have been reading lots of books on climbing - K2, Into Thin Air etc.

Ann and I saw it yesterday. I'm still stressed out.

Rob - you don't want to spend the night on a portaledge? :-) Big wall climbing like that freaks me out. I have total admiration and respect for what they are able to do... but no desire to ever do it.

Bret - If you find yourself enjoying reading about Himalayan mountaineering, you'll like this. It is a different type of climbing story, though. Not the big group expeditions like you see on other "famous" high peaks in that region... this is a story of 3 guys trying to make a first ascent on a remote and very technical / difficult peak. Unique in this genre of documentaries.

The production of the film is incredible considering Jimmy shot all the Meru footage on a Canon 5D and had to worry more about not falling off the mountain than setting up his shots.
