re: Watching "The Summit" on Netflix. Anyone else like high altitude climbing?

No I live down here in the south LA swamps. I dream of living in the mountains though.

How it started was a trip to visit my friend(who had a little climbing experience) that moved to Sacramento. We went to Yosemite and wanted to give Half Dome a try(did a winter ascent with the cables down). I was bitten by the hiking/climbing bug after that.

We started doing about 3 trips a year but that isn't enough to really get good. To supplement I hit the local climbing gym to stay in shape and practice with my rope/gear. I also built this to practice at my house.

With so few trips it has taken a while to progress to bigger objectives. I've just learned I have to be patient. Like thinking ahead 5 years type stuff.
