Climbing Preference:
Class 3 to 4. I used to climb a lot and after a break Im back and looking fwd to a few challenges.
Accomplishments:
1990-1994
Several peaks in Europe among which Mt Blanc (Route des grands mulets). Mt Blanc du Tacul (Several times).
Mont Aiguille (500th anniv. of mountaineering).
many more Alpine peaks and some challenging rock climbing.
Ben Nevis (Scottland) in winter climb, including the gully face.

Moved to Colorado and completed several fun winter climbs: Flat top mountain, Longs Peak (To boulder field) and more I forgot. Summited Longs in snow.
After injury I had to stop climbing and only resumed recently (as I moved back to CO) .
2006- on
Several low level training hikes + Mt. Bierstat.
Torreys (Kelso ridge) and Grays.
Longs/Meeker by the Loft.
Many other 14ers with my 13 year old Son.

The past year (2008) has been amazing, with great successes and some near death experience (Never felt more alive).
Goals:
All the 14ers and not necessarily by the normal routes. I am also looking for some great hikes / climbs outside of the established high peaks.
I just want to remember I'm alive and love mountains.
I am always looking into the next great adventure and, so far it's been one.
My Gear List:
I am rebuilding my equipment inventory.
