Goal For This Month

This past Saturday I attempted to climb mount Nebo. I failed. Being that it was about 95 degrees in the middle of the afternoon with the sun right over my head I would say that it is ok that I failed to climb it. I am making it my goal to climb the mountain by the end of the month. I am really trying to work on my climbing abilities because I know that the Salt to Saint Relay is going to demand some serious climbs. I have a picture of the climb that I will be attempting so you can have some feel as to why it is difficult. But by the end of the month I will be climbing like a pro.



In order to work up to this climb I will be doing Squaw Peak and Alpine Loop. I have been really lazy this summer with my climbing. Before, you may have read my post with the clip from the Anchorage Daily News saying that I hate climbs and I'll never do one again. That is not so much the case anymore. I have grown to really enjoy doing the climbs. I get to the top of these mountains and look at the any sized cars and houses and cities and think how great I have done. The ride up is horrible but the sense of accomplishment is incredible. Plus then I get to go down...really fast! I will post my progress towards this goal as I move forward through this month.
