Halfdome

Thank you for visiting and supporting our fundraising efforts.  It is with nervous excitement that we embark on this adventure. Jim and I (Brian) are looking forward to the climb and hope that you will follow along as we go.

What we’re doing?  This September 11th. my friend Jimmy and I (Brian) have decided that we’re going to be climbing the face of Yosemite’s infamous Half Dome.   The crest lies roughly 4700 feet above the valley floor and the face is roughly to 2000 vertical feet of sheer granite wall.  We will be hauling gear sufficient to stay the night on the face during our assent.

Why we’re doing this?  Firstly it’s a bucket-list adventure I’ve always wanted to do.   Secondly, it’s fundraiser for something I’m passionate about, The Wounded Warrior Project [1] (WWP).  The WWP is a non profit organization dedicated to helping the men and women of Americas Armed Forces that have been wounded in war.  Having fun, realizing a dream and helping people along the way is what this adventure is all about.
