Congratulations Tom!!

Congratulation to Tom Robbins for being the first person with enough intestinal fortitude to sign up to this blog.

You may be asking, "Why would you need intestinal fortitude to read this blog?"

Well, hopefully we won't be posting any video of 'How to cut an arm off to free yourself from the cliff' or 'What happens when you leave a bottle of honey in your backpack, while it's on your back... and there's a bear around...'

But we may be posting some other gruesome, but educational stuff, such as 'How to poo in a bag while hanging 500 metres on a cliff' or 'What happens if you catch Giardia from drinking untreated spring water' so be warned... this blog aint for the squirmish! (By the way, you could also ask Tom about Giardia)

Now that the congratulations and disclosures are done, in the next posts, we'll be giving you full (and totally truthful) biographies for the entire 2011 Yosemite Assault Team!!... (Applause Please)

Once again.... stay tuned... and have a nice day!

The Beginning... Almost

And so the assault begins...

It started in January with a discussion over dinner...

Poo stories were shared...

Gear was bought...

Leaving their partners (to cook dinner) at home, a few brave (not so young) souls signed their names up for their biggest climbing challenge to date... ascending the BIG WALLS of Yosemite Valley.

This is a blog following all the blood, sweat, poo and tears that will go into this epic adventure, set to commence in September 2011.

Hopefully, all will come back alive!!!

Stay tuned...
