HOW IT ALL GOT STARTED

Hello and thanks for visiting my climbing blog!

My name is Scott and I live in Atlanta, GA. I always had an interest in climbing mountains, but never really knew how to get started. In January of 2005, the company I was working for decided to open an office in Memphis and I volunteered to move and help get things kicked off. When I arrived in Memphis I only knew one person, whom I met a few years prior at a wedding, so I gave him a call. He agreed to meet me that evening, but couldn't stay out late because "...he was heading to Africa the next day." Upon meeting him that night, I learned he was leaving the next morning to try his hand at climbing Kilimanjaro.

The next morning, I was talking to my mother and telling her about the conversation from the previous night. During this conversation she asked me if I realized my Uncle Steve had been a climber for years. "No," I responded. She gave me his phone number and the following weekend I made a call to a relative I hadn't spoken to in years. Little did I know how much that call would change my life!

In the 6 years since, I've been to Africa (Tanzania & Kenya), Russia (Moscow & Mineral'Nye Vody), Mexico, Georgia (The country, not the state), and South America (Chile & Argentina), summitted Mt. Kilimanjaro, Mt. Elbrus, and Mt. Rainier, made two attempts at Cerro Aconcagua, an attempt at Ixta, made quick stops in London and Quito, Ecuador, met an endless number of extraordinary people, and developed a new relationship with my uncle.

The blog entries, pictures, and details below are my attempt to share my adventures with the rest of my friends and family. I hope you enjoy!

New Site Is Finished - Transferring Blog

The new site is up & running. I will keep this site up because it has all old pictures and blogs, however, from now until January 30th I will be blogging live for the Aconcagua trip at the site below. Although less aesthetically pleasing and not as "pretty" as Blogspot, the restrictions on the number of people (10) I can auto-notify on Blogspot when a posting goes up is too restrictive.

When you click the link just select the "Alerts" tab to enter your email and you will be automatically notified when a posting goes up. The notification will come from an email named "Exlporersweb Dispatch Alert", just click the link and it will take you to the site.

For those that I used as test subjects with your email addresses, you will need to re-enter yours because I had them all reset.

Any questions, let me know. Off to the new site!
