Whenthe alarm went off at 5:00 I thought-"this is what it is like for Cindy every week". Cindy and Matt showed up and Cindy slept while Matt drove and i played girl power music and chatted.
Our guides for Climb school were Mark "Tuck" Tucker and Nawang Gombu and Phursumba-huge names in teh climbing world-lucky us!
Learning to ice axe arrest was the best part, although i dont think i would count on me in case of a crevase. Tuck seemed to shake his head a lot when i would go, but i think he is just not realizing my potential at more expert ways of doing things...
I had a huge dinner and then see-sawed back and forth with Matt on the scores of Gin Rummy and Yahtzee. Then came the fake tattoo party which was fun for all.
