2006 Calendar

January

The month of January will give me the time to get my body into the gym and prepare myself for the upcoming summer of climbs.  I've suffered on some big climbs last year because I wasn't in the shape I needed to be in.

As well we have the Mountaineers Instructor Review.  I finished off the Basic Mountain Course last summer.  This year I have the opportunity to instruct incoming basic students. 

February

March

I have a half marathon planned.  Depending on the weather I am looking at tuning up on some accessible hikes.  Maybe Granite Mountain, Si a few times, and possibly Camp Muir up near Mt. Rainier.  I'd like to find practice my crevasse rescue skills a bit.

April

Things start to pick up in April.  I have the Whidbey Island Half Marathon.  As well, I signed up for the Mountaineers Intermediate Course, and we have two 2-day field trips this month.  I plan on helping out with with the Basic Course Rock 1, which should be a blast in Leavenworth.
