Getting ready to climb

It's been almost three years from the time I first thought of climbing Denali - planning, attempting last year, and finally being crazy enough to do it all over again in May 2008. The climbing season has already started as a positive with a summit climb up Mt. Whitney via the mountaineer's route. That boost of confidence will surely aid for the upcoming climb ahead. Climbing Denali will be a mixed bag of emotions. For one, I'll be glad to take a rest from my daily training to actually working on the mountain. There's only so many times you can run the same course, hike the same hills, or go to the same gym. Enough already! I'm excited about meeting my new teammates and for the next month, or so, looking forward to the many challenges presented by the mountain.
