Quite poorly at times). Plus Chris is a fellow climber we want to support! The descriptions were often scarier than the climbs themselves, however.

Sunset at Joshua Tree National Park. We've climbed Mt. Athabasca! At 3491m, Mt. Athabasca is the highest peak Gemma and I have reached to date. We took a course with Yamnuska which included a day of snow training. 9 am – 5 pm straight), followed by a day of ice training (8 am – 5 pm straight), followed by the Athabasca attempt. The day before the climb we learned we'd be making a truly alpine start: 2 am wake-up time and 3 am start. Upon return from the trip I see there have been a large number (20 )...

Sunset at Joshua Tree National Park. We really should have posted this a long time ago, but life's been busy since we got back from Kenya [despite the fact that we're not really working full time]. We want to say a big thank you to those who supported us financially and hence making it possible for us to help more people when we were in Kenya. Some of you we have never met before, and others we know are still studying and/or working towards paying off your own student loans. Read full post. ].

Sunset at Joshua Tree National Park. Vegas Encore, Day 1 : Warm-Up. After an 8-hour drive alone yesterday from San Jose to Vegas, I was exhausted by the time I made it to the airport to pick up Peter. Luckily, today is Friday and Peter had to work, which essentially means more sleep for me! 8221; Well, last December when we did this climb for the first time, I was unstable as hell seconding the slab. In short, the score until now was: Slab 1- Gemma 0. When it started getting dark, we decided to visit the...
