In the meantime, I have been training and feel like I'm making progress. Sorry about the lack of updates on this blog, but I've been sorting through my pictures, as well as other people's pictures and over the next few days will be inundating you with data and photographs of my training hikes over the last seven weeks or so.
I've managed to find Google Earth data for some of the hikes, so you can check out the trails mapped onto 3D visualizations of the topographic data for the mountain. It's rather awesome and you should download the program if you have some time to play around with it. You can download it at the link below. I'm pretty sure the download page auto-detects your OS, since I think the 4.x beta is available for Windows, Mac and Linux, so no one gets left out. Here is the download page so you can get it installed before the data starts coming at you:

To whet your appetites, here are a couple of random pictures of alpine views from various hikes before the proper entries get posted:
Any of these images are clickable to see larger versions. I'll keep you in suspense as to where they are taken until I get each individual hike's entry done. Keep'em coming back, as they say!
