Year of Big Ideas Reprieve

Never mind that he had minimal climbing experience or had never even been to Yosemite. We schemed and scheduled “vacation.” We planned and tried to convince others to join us, but, in the end, Brad and I were on our own to wrestle with one very big–arguably bad–idea. We had four days to pull it off. We would have to climb faster than we could manifest excuses.

A third of the way through 2008, where are you in your year of big ideas? We’d love to hear from you. Leave a comment and a little inspiration. What have you ticked off the list? What’s left?
