Using the Ice House Saddle trail for endurance training. 3.6 miles each way in 3 hours.
So it begins. As planned, I summited Mt. Baldy today at noon. 10,064 feet. My goal this year is to climb Mt. Whitney @ 14,500-plus feet. I will do Baldy a few times, then Gorgonio, and then on to Whitney in September. I will try to keep a running blog of my progress.
Got up this morning with a wild hair up my ass...had to climb Ice House Saddle...Reached the top just before noon...Come to find out, my biological father past away just before noon, while I was just reaching the Saddle...
I had just taken a picture of the Saddle and was emailing it to family and friends at the time...past over his name and didn't include him in the text...Strange that I was thinking about him at the time, and that I had needed to ascend Ice House Saddle that day... So, New Years resolution...CLIMB MORE MOUNTAINS...from this day forward, I am a mountaineer. So begins the journey. |
