The bags are packed  and passports are in hand…  and we are stoked.

Sitting in the LAX international terminal waiting for our 1:35am flight outta here.  We’ve got a brutal schedule ahead of us is the next few days but every hour sitting in the airplane , dealing with security and checking in is going to be worth it.   No US soil for Kate and I for two months.

We’ve lined up a pretty sweet schedule, one month in El Chalten trying to climb the granite needles of Patagonia and then one month in Venezuela bushwhacking through the jungle to try and climb an unclimbed sandstone tower out in the middle of nowhere.  I can hardly wait!
