Mountaineering

have free time in June/July 2010 ??

Ladies and Gentleman,
I had a dream...
I want to organised or rather co-organised expedition in june/july 2010. Here are some details:
option 1: we are climbing Mount Denali - one of the coldest mountain all over the world. I think that in this expedition we should become a member of organised group e.g. from Jagged Globe or another highy professional agency. In this option I am looking for one mate who will join me in this event and become my "tent" partner. Costs: about 7500 $ plus gear/person

Gruppo ADIQ sul Cima Castore

Only two days ago, on July 27, 2008, Marco Peruffo and Mattia Tanza led a group which included a number of young adults with Type 1 to the top of the Cima Castore (4200 m) in Monte Rosa group.
 
Check out some photos of this trip AND some great pictures from Marco Peruffo's 2007 Ama Dablam success.

Will Cross Summits Lhotse

Tagged:  •  

Just stumbled upon this article from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazzette mentioning that Will Cross reached the summit of Lhotse on May 25, 2008.  Yeah, old news but thought I better post it here.  I presume he climbed with suppplemental Os, but haven't confirmed.
Happy summer mountains!

Looking for Aconcagua climbing partner

Hello. I will be climbing Mt. Aconcagua in December 2008 and I'm interrested in finding a climbing partner to go with. I will be going with a company called Patagonicas which appears to have a good record of both safety and success. If anyone is interrested please reply back and we can discuss details.

Peruffo On Top of Ama Dablam

Marco Peruffo summits the Kumbu dream summit - Ama Dablam on October 25, 2007!!  Bravo Marco!!
 
The climb was an "afterthought" after a little trek to Everest BC with wife Sara.  Their summit push was eleven hours and it took them seven long ones to get down.  Sounds like they did a stellar job.
 
Hats off to them.
