I'm a 62-yr old retired engineer.

I've been very deaf since I was four years old - as a result of ear infections.
Thankfully, my ear infections did not affect my sense of balance.

During my teenage years, my father introduced me to hiking and backpacking.
I also had reasonable bicycle riding and racing career way back then.

I've had life-long dreams of climbing mountains, but unfortunatelly, work and family
put these on the back burner.

Once I retired, I started to re-activate some of some of my failed dreams.
I climbed my first mountain (Mt Hood) when I was 54.

Washington's top 100 peaks.

Oregon's top 100 peaks.

At moment:   Mt. Baker, Mt. Rainier, Mt. Jefferson, Wallowas.
