Life: Out Climbing

Hello from Wanaka, New Zealand. Population: 3500. We are currently sorting gear and then heading out this evening into Mt. Aspiring National Park. We will be climbing, and we plan on returning within the week. We=yours truly, the fantabulous Cece Mortenson, and Tim–the Brit she picked up in Christchurch. (BTW, the pick-up wasn’t completely random. We both met Tim at McMurdo, and–poor guy–had been cooped up at Rothera, a British Antarctic base, for 18 months before working a short season at McMurdo. Ouch.) See you back at “Down and Out” soon.
