Just a quick update to fill you in. I'm in Seattle now. Scrambling to get a few last minute things done. Had a great week with meetings at Bing, MSR, Atlas Snowshoe and Madshus as well as a presentation at REI corporate. Lots of fun.

Packing up way to much gear into my small rental car and driving to Rainier with Scarpa's Paul Nanawa. Next stop, White River ranger station. Then camp Sherman. Then the summit. Should be fun!

Picture: Mt. Rainier.

The Save the Poles expedition is sponsored by Bing with major support from the University of Plymouth, Terramar, Goal0, Atlas and Sierra Designs.

Remember, it's cool to be cold. Save the Poles. Save the planet.
