i celebrated my 36th by climbing Mt. Rainier with a few friends from the spring mountaineering class - Dave, Jill and Holli. We totally lucked out with a great weather window. Glad I did it - but it's a LONG slog, and crowded and honestly - there's smaller but way more fun climbs right here in the North Cascades. After Baker and Rainier, I'm feeling pretty lucky and am looking forward now to spending some time at home with the dog, and going paddling... (although Mt. Adams was looking pretty cool the other day... the mountains are addictive!)
