Here's the blog I meant to post on Friday. I'm back posting so you probably won't even notice. :)
Tomorrow I'm headed up to Mt Hood for an Alpine Mountaineering class. We learn how to use an ice ax, self belay and self arrest, snow travel, roped travel, glissading, etc... It should be interesting provided I don't break my arm in the process. Next weekend I am taking a class for Glacial Travel and Crevasse Rescue training.

I think if I really like these (I'm excited about them but still uncertain) I might think about taking the Mazamas Basic Climbing Education which is 6 weeks long so it's a bit more intense. But first I want to see how these go. I might totally hate it.
