Back in the Saddle

We arrived home safe and sound after 6 days of climbing in the Tetons, culminating in a successful summit of the Grand Teton last Thursday. Thanks to the staff for holding down the fort in my absence.

The remainder of this week is course preparation for the Member/Member this weekend. Next week we'll finish the North Course fairway aerification.

Back At It

Joseph Conrad and The Heart of Darkness it wasn't. But a few days "lost" in the San Juans and the Cascades to recharge the batteries was exciting. We summitted Arrow Peak but we got weathered off Mt. Shuksan after making it to high camp.

Luckily, I work for a great club that allowed me the time off to pursue my adventures!

He's Alive!

Back from alpine climbing in Colorado with only a few knee bruises ... no other major injuries ... and a successful summit of Engineer mountain. I'll post some photos next week.

We're leaving the snow cover on the greens for the moment and will review the situation next week.

On the summit with Doug Johanningsmeier!

And of course ... what's wrong with a little spa pampering when you're done? Gotta take care of those broken nails.
