"Without mountains, we might find ourselves relieved that we can avoid the pain of the ascent, but we will forever miss the thrill of the summit!" - Craig D. Lounsbrough I see my friends are pushing themselves in the alpine these days. It feels weird to be not planning anything other then running around NYC. So I wanted to share with you my three rules on alpine climbing. You follow these rules in this exact order and you and your partner will have the best time, no matter where you are! 1) Stay Alive! 2) Stay Friends! 3) Summit!
