Additional Info | : | kilimanjaro route: Machame
kilimanjaro partners: John Mafala
Elbrus route: Abau Aum
Elbrus remarks: 2nd attempt on Elbrus, (only mountain I repeated)Previously we couldn't find summit in 2001 blizzard. Got stuck somewhere on summit crater in 2001 whiteout-blizzard. This was the only climb I repeated, to make sure.
Elbrus partner: Oksana Novak
Aconcaguaroute: Vacas Valley
Aconcagua_partners: Willie Prittie
Heavy snows made the 'canaleta' manageable with crampons.
Denali route: West Buttress
Denali partners: Tim Connelly
Denali remarks: Early season climb. Stuck at high camp 17,000' for 7 days in blizzard with one night colder than minus 50 degrees ambient.
Vinson route: Branscomb Glacier
Vinson partners: Vern Tejas, Henrik Olsen
Vinson remarks: White out on summit day, but glad to get this odyssey completed! High winds and driven snow on summit day. Never got used to the 24 hours of sunlight -- after a week on the 'ice', my watch would read "11:00" and I didn't know if it was AM or PM.
Everest route: Southeast Ridge, Nepal
Everest partners: Vern Tejas, Luis Benitez (Ecuador/USA), Bruno Rodi (Italy/Canada)
