"So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life."

Route Climbed: Various Date Climbed: Aug 18, 2002Day 2 of the 2002 Mountaineers Challenge. Vishal and I spent 4hrs climbing eight of the nine. Order: 5-6-4-3-2-1-7-8 We skipped 9 since we didn't have a rope. If you look at 9 from the summit of 3, it looks damn-near impossible. This was Vishal's intro to class 4 climbing. He climbed in trekking shoes, while I climbed in tennis shoes. Peak 4 from the east side was the scariest. Trip Report.

Route Climbed: Various Date Climbed: June 23, 2002Bagged these on my Cathedral Range traverse in the following order: 8, 9, 7, 6, 5, 1, 2, 3, 4. At 5.7, number 9 is an interesting free solo. For a moment, I wished I had a rope so I didn't have to downclimb it, but everything went fine (despite the terrible rock quality).

Route Climbed: Various Date Climbed: Oct. 9, 1999Monty and I climbed Cockscomb first, then up and over Echo Ridge, then all nine of Echo Peaks' summits. #9, #6, #3, and #4 were the most fun. The last one we climbed was #4, and is was pitch dark before we finished the rappel into Echo Creek drainage. That was particularly fun, holding a flashlight in our mouth while rapping. Trip Report

Route Climbed: No clue Date Climbed: August 29, 2001After bagging Cathedral Peak and Eichorn Pinnacle I jogged over to the Echo Peaks. Ryle was planning on meeting me at Echo Peak #9 and climbing it with me.
I bagged the first 8 Echo Peaks on my own, not really following the routes described in the guide book. I never encountered climbing harder than easy 5th class. After finishing the first 8 peaks, I headed over to #9 and waited for Ryle to arrive. I waited for more than an hour and a half, but Ryle never showed up. After lying in the sun for 90 minutes, I lost all motivation and headed back to the car where I waited another two hours for Ryle. Sometime I'll have to go back and do #9.
