 This weekend we added another peak to our list of accomplishments, Kennesaw Mountain. Alright for those who live in Georgia, they know that Kennesaw mountain is not that big of an accomplishment but it is a step in the right direction for us. |

 What I’ve Done to get ready for Rainier
Before we thought of climbing Rainier, I had been a relatively active person. I ran anywhere from 6-8 miles a few days of the week, even running a half-marathon. I strength trained weekly, and did a lot of work on the elliptical machine at the gym. I take the stairs, park far, and carry a weighty backpack to school. I’m no slouch, but I’m definitely not an elite athlete, either. Did I have a good base for beginning training? |

Mountaineering requires a different set of camping gear almost entirely. Here you will find a list of all of the gear that is needed. |

 We decided to spend our first year anniversary on the Applician trail. It was a good time and we hiked from Dicks Creek Gap to the North Carlolina border. This hike was a little over 9 miles one way. We survived the weekend and the weather worked out very well.

I am planning a trip to Mount Rainier. The trip has now been booked, we are going with Alpine Ascents on July 5 - 7, 2007. The itinerary is: - Day One Climb to Camp Muir
- Day Two Climb to the Ingraham Glacier
- Day Three Climb to the Summit
First I will need to learn some of the basics, how long it takes, what are the physical demands it will require, approximately how much money will be needed, and which companies have expeditions to the top. |
