Win lose or draw it's that you play the game that counts!

Over the past weekend I attempted Curtis Ridge on Mount Rainier with Cappy aka Rich. We had a great time as usual we got to about 10300' we think our only altimeter died at the parking lot. Sometimes you go and the summit is not in the cards. Later on we found out that a team we watched on Liberty Ridge had an unfortunate incident. The top out is not what I remember about a climb it is the journey that counts. Success is measured in growth not necessarily achievement. I am out playing the game less than some and more than others but I'm playing and that's what counts. Like the Terminator says I will be back! Curtis Ridge looks to fun not to try again.
Get out get cold and get scared!


Amazed to find this little guy at about 10,000'






This is why I have got to go back!
