I get addicted to this internet thing.  After this moment I will be going 10 days without internet.

We had our trip meeting last night.  Our climb is 11 people and a pretty diverse group.  We were introduced to our lead guide and he was very nice.  He explained our itineraries for each day and gave us all of our rental gear.  The down jackets that we got are Mountain Wear brand.  These jackets are impressive!  They feel like soft pillows.  Now I’m wondering how cold it will be up there.

I am bringing my Netbook on the climb.  My plan is to type in daily reports.  One guy in the group has an Iphone with an international package.  The guide said that we might be able to get a signal up there.  Wouldn’t it be cool if I can post updates from the mountain?
