The journey begins. We're climbing Mt. Rainier June 19-21. Cody Brooke, Cyrus Anderson and yours truly, the author, Patrick McCarty. We're doin' this man-style, hiring guides. However, much cardiovascular/pullups/crossfit must ensue. And we must buy gear.
With the Mt. Rainier gear list in-hand, Cody and I set forth to explore the darkest depths of Seattle’s over-priced recreational merchant, REI. We begin our adventure in Ballard, or Ba-lard as we like to say, at the residence of the author and consigliere to our bachelor. After a short discussion with our old friend Randy, our friend from the Other Coast abruptly interrupted our trek across town. Kameron added an incorrigible element to the group, not taking shit from anybody.
“Fuck you,” tends to be the motto of the mountaineering group, subtracting Kam and add Cyrus of course. Nothing’s gonna get in our way, except maybe REI prices.
