It’s almost time for the Midwest Mountaineering Winterfest, and they have a lot of fun stuff for climbers and trekkers this year. I’ll be giving two presentations:
Trekking to Everest Base Camp. Saturday, Nov. 20, 9:15 AM, Humphery Center, Cowles Auditorium
Adjusting to High Altitude: A Primer for Flatlanders. Saturday, Nov. 20, 11:45 AM, Hansen Hall room 102.
There are some great speakers this year, so check out the schedule. Here’s the one page summary.
Mani stones between Pangboche and Dingboche, with Nuptse and Everest (in cloud) behind.

Climbing Guidebook update
September 27th, 2010
With apologies to those who are not midwestern rock climbers…
I’m pleased to announce I will be doing an update to Rock Climbing: Minnesota and Wisconsin. This update was planned, delayed, and then canceled for various reasons. Those issues have been resolved and the publisher has given a firm commitment to the revision. The new edition will be in color and not much more expensive than the current edition.
Go here to get further information. The main source of news concerning the progress of the revision will be my other blog. You can subscribe to get notified of any posts by clicking above. I also have a Facebook Page that you can follow. I won’t post more often than every couple of weeks.
I look forward to your help on this project. Please pass the word to MN/WI rock climbers.

Back at it
July 28th, 2010
After a long hiatus, I’m back. I’ve intended to start posting regularly for almost 6 months now but something always seems to get in the way. I plan to be providing useful information about once every week or so. I’ll try to keep the drivel to a minimum so you can spend more time on Facebook. If you subscribe you can pick which categories you want to be notified about. Or if it’s too much just unsubscribe. Any problems with this should be reported via the e-mail address in the header above.
I have reformatted and added to the photo galleries and will be posting videos on YouTube starting this week. I’ll post info on how to find the video when it’s available.
On a personal note, I’m mostly healed up. I’ve been running, biking, and climbing since the beginning of the year and things continue to improve. I did a double crossing of the Grand Canyon in May (check out the photos) and climbed South Teton a week ago. Frankly, my typing has suffered more than anything else, which is the main reason I haven’t been posting.
Feel free to e-mail me with your questions; I’ll try to answer as long as the volume of questions remains manageable.

I’m in the midst of reorganizing and redesigning my sites. Hopefully soon I’ll have time to say something interesting on this blog. In the meantime, it’s back to formatting etc.
If something doesn’t work the way you think it should, let me know at the email address on the header.
