One year three weeks before Ironman Canada I got the opportunity to tag in on a climb of Mt. Rainier with some guys who had a climber back out of their trip in the 11th hour (I knew these guys from climbing Kilimanjaro). I had already climbed Mt. Rainier 5 times and knew the routes fairly well, although we were doing a pretty steep route called Ingraham Direct. Is was a quick in and out climbing trip. When I got back I was flying- I felt awesome. The combination of 14-15 hours non-stop climbing with a heavy pack and the altitude really put the finishing touch on my training. It was an incredible discovery. Comments?
