Ive done a bit, got the bug in 1992 when on holiday in Africa and climbed Mt Kilimanjaro,
took a mountaineering course and tried to bag as many of the ‘Seven Summits’ as I could
climbed, Mt Denali (N America) Mt Elbrus (Europe) got to 21,800 my alt record on Mt Aconcagua (S America)
trekked to Everest base camp, climbed two ‘peaks’ when in Nepal
climbed an un-named Mt in Antarctica (not Vinson), climbed Mt Fuji in Japan (solo) and Mt Kosciuszko in Ozz
I was in the NZ Mountaineering club for 10 years but could not keep up the fitness required
Had heaps of arse puckering moments and helped with two crevasse rescues on Denali
I miss it big time…
tried twice to climb Mt Aspiring but the weather window closed, same for Mt Earnslaw.....
