Sorry about the lack of updates for so long!\u00a0 I didn’t realize when I had to call it quits that my adventures in pain and suffering were just beginning!…I spent several days dealing with swelling.\u00a0 I had some muscle breakdown that seems to have caused something called rhabdomyolysis.\u00a0 This shut down my kidneys for a few days, so my whole body was swollen until my kidneys started functioning again.\u00a0 Once the swelling came down I got back feeling in my lower leg and the wound I obtained while sliding down South Maroon became very painful.\u00a0 That wound has finally started becoming manageable, but basically in the time between now and when I had to give up on the record I have been totally useless.\u00a0 I am so happy to be able to walk around again!\u00a0 Now it is just a matter of my overuse injury healing up, but I think that will be a long process.<\/p>\n

The original\u00a0plan was that once\u00a0we were finished in California, a big group of teammates and friends would meet up at Mt. Rainier and we would all climb Rainier together as a celebration of successful completion of the 14er trip.\u00a0\u00a0I was afraid the trip to Rainier would be cancelled once I had to call it quits due to my injuries.<\/p>\n

However, once Joe confirmed he was still happy to take everyone to the top, the planning continued.\u00a0 In the end\u00a0Kim, Andrea, Steve, Calvin, and Axel all flew out together from Colorado to meet up with Joe and Kent (friend of Kim) in Washington.\u00a0 Natalie and I went back and forth about sending Calvin and Axel, and finally when we agreed, we were horrified when we saw what the cost of the airfare had become.\u00a0 So then we changed our minds and said they would not go.\u00a0 However, they both wanted to go so bad that they agreed to pay some of their own money toward the airfare, so in the end we relented and said they could go.<\/p>\n

Natalie and I\u00a0have been following the satellite tracker, and it looks like they all successfully summited this morning! Congrats to the Mt. Rainier team and\u00a0we wish\u00a0we could have been there!<\/p>\n
