Hi All - I haven't checked the site in a while and logged in to find lots of activity the past few weeks...and posts from old friends! It's good to see the activity level up here, but what else can be expected on this 10-year anniversary of SJC? I don't remember when it was exactly that I stumbled upon OO's original SJC but I know I lurked for a looooong time before I finally had the courage to post. I had never participated in any kind of internet chat room before so I was very nervous when I first posted. My first post was a summary of an event that I had been to at The Mountaineers in Seattle that involved some of the characters of the 1996 Everest season. I needn't have worried so much, as I received a warm welcome, which encouraged me to become a regular participant of the site. At the time I never imagined we'd still be in touch 10 years later!
