So, if you're Alpineman...

... why do I see all this spew about everything but alpine stuff? Well, because I only climb once a year or so now. My brother the Fox, my friend HODAR and I clawed our way to the summit of Mt. Baker in the northern Cascades this summer. Here's me on the summit, exhausted and looking dorky, as usual. Also a sexyman shot of me (my butt, anyway) approaching the crater.

See? The name fits. Besides, if my few friends called me "Gunman" or "Assaultrifleman", it would kinda freak people out.
