    Mt Blanc - Hard Decision - Appreciate Input

    I have been struggling over a decision recently and just realized that maybe I don’t have to think of all the variables myself. Decision: I have the fine opportunity to climb Mt Blanc (guided) this summer, but know it is more technical than probably anything I have done before. The key issue...

    It has been a little more than 1.5 years since Artex and Pennsy told me that I had just gotten my first peak on 'the list' - North Kinsman.
