Aprile 2010
Left: My self photo - The 1st climb of the
season - that little dot over my left shoulder is
Joe. I got down after the first route and told
Joe that because I kept thinking of Mt. Eiger /
Nordwand (must see movie) I got stuck. He
choked laughing and reminded me that I
wasn't in a blizzard and that I was only at
about 900 meters vs 3500 meters and
climbing with a nylon rope vs. a hemp rope, it
is 2010 vs. 1936  and I didn't have a bleeding
head wound, but still my OCD got the best of
me - the routes after that were better, but I
still suck.

This year I am going to climb better and LEAD
climb - my Spring/Summer resolution.

Below Joe's self portrait - look at that amazing
view - this is around Barzio - Pian di Bobbio -
East of Lago di Lecco and about 30 min from
our house. I am totally twitchy for our treks!
