No, but she couldn't miss his Pitched Tent For The While they were together.

I would pick the Alps over Alaska any day for climbing, and I have been to both. Where else can you take a telepherique to avoid the slog in, hit up a 12 hour climb, and be back in town for happy hour? Certainly not Alaska. Throw in the topless beaches and the ability to rinse and repeat the next day, and it's a no-brainer. I will never, NEVER take a cable car. I go climbing to climb, not to sit on my ass. You and I can go to the Alps. I'll take the cable car, wait for you at the hut, and drink myself silly. We'll climb the second day after my hangover wears off.

Yes, sir!
That's a different trip, though. I'm (hopefully) meeting up with ScoTt and heading out there. He just moved to Germany.

that shouldn't be too hard. you should be able to get on a classic every day, in fact.
