random comment: Peace be with you

I've been climbing off and on for about 4 years. I love alpine and mountaineering, but the DC area does not have much to offer in this arena. I am somewhat of a retired dirtbagger (Marriage) But on the plus, my (new)current banking job gives me time to "explore" the web, and find places like rc.com
