This post is for the folks interested in my upcoming trip to Antarctica. So the wheels are in motion now, and I am definitely heading South to attempt Vinson Massif, the highest point in Antarctica and thus one of the seven summits. I have been thinking about this trip on and off over the last few years. Now I feel I have the skills to attempt the climb, and with a lot of training over the next 3-4 months, I should also have the fitness. For anyone who wants to know why (on god’s green earth) I would want to spend my entire yearly allowance of vacation on a single trip, you will just have to read ‘The Home of the Blizzard’ which is Mawson’s thrilling account of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition.
Mount Vinson – The Preparations Begin
Yep, Luis seems to know what he’s doing, especially given the fact that he has asthma! The guy’s a purebred climbing machine. I’m sure you’re enjoying the preparations as “getting there is half the fun”, right?!
