Kosciuszko route: Normal
Kosciuszko partners: Graas Adventure Team Tatia Graas Guide Chris Graas Assistant Guide

Kosciuszko remarks:
Another adventure completed which was not as challenging as some, but a most enjoyable adventure/trip. I want to thank my guide Tatia Grass for all her hard work for getting us to the summit (alot of diffcult navigating). On the last mile to the summit Tatia trudged ahead keeping a watchful eye for any wild/dangerous kangaroos and/or aborigines. As we got to about 200 from the summit Tatia hollered back to me, how much dam further is it as she was about out of gas due to the speedy ascent. Our made it up in record time of under 2 hours due to our leader Tatia constantly pushing us. Thanks again Tatia and Chris for making this a memorable adventure.


Climbing biography:
As living in Colorado I can go up in the mountains here frequently and I do.
Climbing 20 to 40 14,000ers a year . I have been to Mexico doing the volcanoes, Mt Rainer-Washington,Mt Shasta California,Cho Oyu Tibet in 2001 only getting to high camp{camp 3]
I climbed my first 14,000er in 1989 and its been all uphill since then. I was intrigued by the mountains many many years earlier, but never could find the time.

Personal bio:
I am semi-retired since 1996 from the resturant business after 25 years.My interests are anything to do with the outdoors.
