I'm not planning on going to Mt. Washington, but someone else was
asking. I would like to go sometime. My regular mountain partner has
been up Washington too many times, so he doesn't want to go back.

The Mt. Logan expedition take up a lot of time? Really? Let's see
now, there were 2 week long training trips. Darn, I missed both of
those, but I did spend 3 weeks in Ecuador in Dec/Jan and 1 week around
Boulder CO, and Long peak in March. There were several weekend
training trips, which I made it to the Wallface one, which was quite a
story because of Alan smashing his big toe with a 300 lbs rock. Of
course, I have my own weekend trips that I guess could count as
training, like the one where I setup a tyrolean across the Gunsight at
Seneca Rocks in WV (there will be a tyrolean on Logan). There are
meeting every free weekend and weeknight. I went to one weekend
meeting and spent countless hours on the phone. There are thousands
of dollars of gear to buy which means spending hours and hours on the
phone and running stuff down. I did my 3K worth, plus more on
personal gear.

Of course you shouldn't do a trip like Logan without serious aerobic
training. This involves 1 to several hours everyday since I knew I
was going plus doing at least half that much before that for over a
year. I do stuff like cycle on the hilly terrain around here from 12
to 90 miles on each ride averaging between 17 and 21 MPH, or go on a 3
hour speed caving trip with my friend Marek (he only knows one speed
for caving, warp speed). But lately I have found a new favorite,
which is hiking on the treadmill with a 65 lbs pack for an 1:00 hour
32% grade at 1.5 MPH climbing over 2500 feet vertically. Without the
pack I do 1:00 hour 40% grade at 2.11 MPH which is 4500 feet. Sounds
like fun doesn't it? I still haven't figured out why I am addicted to
torturing myself in this way everyday.

Oh, don't forget rock climbing 3 to 7 times a week or ice climbing
similarly when the weather was cold. Now comes the good part, the
expedition itself. I leave June 11 and plan on returning July 31.
That's only 7 weeks. Why hell, Paul, our trip leader, plans to do at
least a month climbing in Canadian rockies after that. Doing this
climb isn't a trip, it's a lifestyle.
