Hi everybody. Herb here from Connecticut. Nice to meet all of you! I started hiking, running and cycling a few years ago and progressed to larger Mountaineering objectives.
History includes:
Mount Washington many times in summer and winter
Mount Rainier 2018
Denali Prep course in Mount Baker wilderness January 2019
Ixta and Orizaba (Mexican volcanos) November 2019
24 week Expedition Mountaineering Uphill Athlete program January 2020-May 2021 (Mark Postle and Scott Johnston coached)
Denali trip postponed from May 2020 to May 2021 due to pandemic
Mount Moran August 2020
Gran Teton Sept 2020
Longs Peak October 2020 (shoulder injury)
Surgery December 2020
Denali summit May 2021 (shoulder reinjury)
Surgery September 2021
Mount Wilson (Red Rock NV) March 2022
So my objective is to regain some lost mountain fitness from my time off due to injury. Hopefully I can get back to where I was and continue my rock and ice climbing progression and get ready to head west next September for Rockies or Tetons or Wind River or other objective.
Two things are for sure, this method works and Mark and Steve are masters at coaching! Thank you for providing such amazing guidance and education!
