Jack, still enjoy reading your account, years after your terrific feat! It was great to meet/climb with you back during day 2 of the 2007 Sierra Challenge. You may remember me, I was the young chap from Cherry Valley/Beaumont. Any plans to come out for the '09 Sierra Challenge? Hope you're doing well in Hemet!
Hey Ryan. I remember you well. We talked about local climbing some. I'm still doing lots of bouldering here in Hemet. Lately been pulling some really hard stuff (for me!!)
This summer, in late June I'm kayaking from Whitehorse to Dawson City on the Yukon which is almost 500 miles. Then in July going to Kauai for 2 weeks to backpack and camp. Then in August I'll be in Colorado scouting 14ers and maybe dropping by the Tetons. It is unlikely I'll be out for the Sierra challenge. But my buddy Pete may be there.
You should come over to Hemet and boulder with us some afternoon. Send me a PM and I'll tell you the details.
I've been bouldering 3 days a week lately. Weekends I'm usually sailing or running off with the wife somewhere.

Wow,..thanks stepho. There's an awful lot of trip reports. Maybe someday, not too far in the future you can write one telling how you destroyed this record! It all starts by believing it's possible.
