Wow I can’t believe I haven’t wrote anything new in almost two months. Things have been a little crazy around here as I have been busy training and preparing for the trip. Oh I have a been in contact with someone who I will be travelling across Peru with on the GAP Adventures tour. I’m really looking forward to meeting more people who will be on the tour.

I think I’ve finally got all my gear sorted out. I have arranged for all my climbing gear to be sent up to Huaraz as soon as I get into Lima. I’m really happy I was able to do this as I won’t have to carry any extra gear around Peru until I actually need to use it when I’m mountain climbing.

Since some people have been asking me about the gear that I will be using down in Peru, I will put together a gear list and post it on this blog. Potential gear sponsors take note

I’m still going to the gym on a regular basis. Unfortunately I had to stop running a while back as I some how managed to hurt my foot. Instead of running I’ve been using some of the different cardio machines at the gym, as well as going for the occasional bike ride. On a positive note, my foot has been feeling much better these last couple of weeks, so I think I’m going to try running again tomorrow night. Besides going to the gym and going for the occasional bike ride, I have also gone indoor wall climbing on several occasions. Here are a couple pictures from the climbing gym and also from a recent snowboarding trip to Holiday Mountain.

Well that’s it for now. This Friday I leave for San Diego. I must say I’m really looking forward to the warm weather. I’ll be sure to post a trip report when I get back.
