I see a "lot of me" in John...
It started out with a Love of Whitney...
Morphed into wanting a climb of Whit in each month...
Then it turned to a Day-Climb in every month...
(when I found out it was something Bob hadn't done...)
Then some guy (no caps 'cause I ain't takin' about Bob) sent me a message in Autumn '11 telling me it was going to be a weak winter...
Thus started that Quest for a Climb-A-Week...
Which almost killed me during Climb 52...

It's since been done again (and maybe more) by a McCoy...(he was cool enough to contact me to let me know he'd hit 52 and was wondering if it would bother me if he kept going...of course, I said heck no...keep it going until you get stopped by conditions...)

These days my only remaining risks seem to be more about riding motorcycles (including in "war zones"), rather then climbing on Rock, Snow and Ice...


BTW, the Kawi Crash Count is up to Six...they've got this stuff that reminds me of Powdered Sugar and if you don't hit it with Speed, you're going to Fold The Front End...thank goodness, you tend to lose what remaining speed you have real fast when this happens...thus no Injuries...
