Deb has been reading extreme mountaineer books. She decided to organize and archive my climbing career, so for starters, here's the list of sucessful mountains that I've had the opportunities to stand on top of.  Most are in CA but there was 4 in Bolivia.

I seldom talk about my climbing in fear that people might think that I'm bragging (or nobody is interested) but it's fun to compare notes with other climbers. Climbing for me is a selfish endeaver. I do it strickly for self satisfaction and accomplishment.  Only my climbing partners are there to witness our climbs, there are never any spectators, therefore not much glory.  Most of my climbs are documented with some incredible photos... incredible because mother nature provides the beauty.

I don't know if I would call it "selfish". it's good to be proud of your feats of strength.
Way to go Mike! My only question is, where are the pictures? =)

Mike, I love climbing too. I'm a little more into the technical rock climbing part, but mountaineering inspired me early on and anything to get to a better view motivates me. Didn't know you were a man of the great out of doors.


Nice list of adventures,

Matt
