I did make an odd turn to the North at Iceberg Lake on Friday...the solitude on the West side at this time of the yeat is pretty amazing... Enjoy China...Hug a few too many Chineese women for me.😯👑 Take lots of photos...maybe a slide show before you head way down South?

Yvon Chouinard did that once and called it 5.8 Kurt Wedberg info@sierramountaineering.com http://www.sierramountaineering.com

He couldn't find the hotel so he just kicked us out! Getting darker, we showed a stranger our key and he pointed to a big building. Yeah we were only a block away.... Got a free ride though! Thank god for the iPhone Also did a photo shoot.... Oh Lordy they want us to compete, here we go Last edited by myles; 10/28/14 11:38 AM.

We got to meet the rest of the team which is a great group of guys. We have a Russian world winner speed climber, james an Australian boulder who crushes a route setter who is setting the comp, and Danny who is Honk Kongs strongest climber. Today we get to meet John Otto a big peak bagger as well as big wall. He has seen the summit of Everest as well as surrounding peaks and has lived in china for the last 20 years. Wedburg you ever met him? Alright guys have to catch the bus thanks for all support ... Now we are jungle bound for some lime stone!

As long as you are not conscripted making trinkets ,meeting some of the top climbers things will work out fine . A movie producer was in the other day looking for climbers.I said I know this young couple that works well with Hollywood . Take care over there! We love you guys The Portal Crew
