Please forgive the "default" theme. I'm currently in the process of giving the site an overdue redesign. The new look should be ready soon.
A while back I brought you “How to explore Antarctica without leaving home,” an interactive/educational tour of the the Antarctic continent.
Well, it is now my pleasure to once again invite you to grab your virtual luggage, overpay for a virtual plain ticket, and join me on an interactive and educational tour of the Alps. (more…)
I’ve upgraded the version of WordPress running this site; so if anyone notices any bugs or problems, please let me know.
It looks like Ed Viesturs, climbing legend, made an appearance on ‘The Colbert Report‘ to promote his book “No Shortcuts to the Top.”
Ed, for those of you who may not know, is one of the few people (and even fewer Americans) who has climbed all 14 of the worlds 8000 meter peaks, and even fewer who’ve done it without the use of supplemental oxygen. Oh, and you know that little mountain called Everest? Yeah, he’s been to the top of it about 6 times.
I didn’t catch the episode on TV, but had a good laugh when I watched it online. Ed was able to keep up with Colbert (which is more than many others can say) and did really well.
Congrats to the Adventure Junkie over at The Adventure Blog on his 1000th post!
Here I thought I was on a roll with 50! I guess I’ve got more writing to do.
I’d also like to wish him good luck, as he’s currently in Tanzania scaling Kilimanjaro.
So, AJ, congrats and good luck!
