Hey guys - time to catch up. ENough lurking.
I am off Jan 4 - 28 to Argentina to have a 2nd shot at climbing Ojos Del Salado the world's highest volcano at 682m, 6893m, 6864m, depending what you read ( !! ). It'll be my first solo expedition, and an excitingone into the Argentinian side of things ( the 2001 attempt was via the Chilean side and stopped 200mshort of the top ). Details at http://www.everest.org.sg - which I hope to update along the trip. Onthebusiness side, I have a new company ( see http://www.everestmotivation.com ), so lots tolook forward toin 2005
It's gonna to be tough mentally, and the remoteness of the peak demands a somewhat conservative approach - it isnt quite like Everest where there's a x 10 greater chance of being rescued if you are in trouble. Have a great Xmas and Happy new Year
Dave
