the diary of a [newbie] rock climber

i've recently discovered the intoxication that is rock climbing. what follows is a collection of random thoughts, experiences and images related to my newbie rock climbing adventures. note: climbing is a dangerous activity. these are only my opinions and shouldn't be substituted for good sense and education. climb safely and at your own risk.

"if you're going to climb everest you might die"

everest 2: beyond the limit is currently airing on tuesday nights (10 pm et/pt) on the discovery channel.

i caught a glimpse of the show tonight and was pretty intrigued. during the episode the climbers encountered a dead climber's body near the camp site (#4) closest to the summit. creepy, yea.

there's a post fireside chat show called
after the climb that gives great insight into a lot of the "whys."

the show runs until december 18. it's worth checking out if you've ever wondered what summiting everest (with an intense soundtrack) might be like.
