Glad you have some friends who go as nuts for this stuff as you do, doesn't that just make life great? Freaking awesome idea, I wish you and your gang the best of luck!

Hey-I missed this post!
But I wanted to say, I've been up Mt Evans, an Pikes Peak-got the keyrings to prove it!
We drove up them-pretty hairy drives both of them-I remember the big bag of Ruffles potato chips exploding in the trunk from the change in altitude and my Dad freaking out that we had a tyre blow or something!

I also remember being really sick at the top and getting looked after by the Rangers who gave me a hot chocolate and a donut. And in those days my asthma was only at the childhood level of severe-think the last time I went up either was aged early 20s and I was definitely in a bit of a dodgy lung spell then!

PS My Grandad came and he had angina that summer and was AOK. That's a positive for you!

Looks beautiful. I've really got to get out west to some of this nature, once I'm in shape enough to enjoy it. Have a good hike!!

Wow, that's totally cool! I love the view you'll get (as per the picture sample above). I had the chance to go skiing in the Colorado Rockies a few years ago…. the sights were AMAZING and is what makes me want to go back more than the fun I had skiing. Have a blast!

Looks like funnnnnnn!!! And, of course, totally gorgeous. I hope y'all have an epic time out there–I totally wish I could come out.

OK, I know we're not allowed to use the 'i' word, so I'll just say that this sound really cool, and incredibly impressive! And now I'll stop complaining about my walking in The Netherlands, which is basically flat, not to mention below sea level!

How I wish we had beautiful mountains like that here.

that sounds fabulous. I can’t wait to hear all about it. You impress me daily with your perseverance in doing what you want to do, despite the challenges. It’s a lesson that we can all learn from (asthmatic or not) I’ll tell you, on days my lungs are complaining to me, and all I want to do is sit around and baby them, I often think of you, and go to the gym, or whatever.

I’ve hiked the White Mountains…I’d love to get to the top of Mt. Washington…we’ve only hiked to the snow line…the Rockies seem SO daunting.
