Hi Rob, Alex and I had a great trip up McKinley, and both stood on the peak! The mini expedition you took us on was ideal training. As suspected the toughest part is not technical, but dealing with big packs (60lb) for three weeks consecutively. We kept reminding ourselves of those key phrases you let slip, "motivation is key".. great stuff! Will be in touch with next goal. Sam
Rob is great company and is great to climb with. What I found most impressive is his ability to be sensitive to everyones needs and his easy going likeable manner. He is a good climber/guide and has an easy going but focussed approach, you will have a very good chance of reaching your objective with Rob. And we had loads of fun too.
