Excellent challenge this past Saturday.
It’s become a tradition with the families of some of my hiking buddies to take their sons on this adventure as something of a rite of passage to manhood.
On Sept. 19th, 2009 we took three 13-yr-olds. They had to get to the top … or die trying. …
Thanks Rob for leading our group. It was terrific.
Huge and difficult hike in Northern Spain was fantastic.
Will arrive Bilbao tomorrow. Apparently there is some crazy museum there.
This was the most important and best hike I did in Europe this summer.

Got pounded with rain today. Typical walking weather in Scotland.
Just arrived back to civilization, Chamonix, France, after 7 days, 7 nights up with the glaciers.
