So 13 hours, 24 miles and 10,000 feet later, we emerged triumphant, none the worse for wear (nothing that cold beer and Aleve couldn't handle).

Thanks to Kathy for the hospitality, Rick for the shuttle, our families for indulging us and Pete and Steve for handling all of the details and including me in their most excellent adventure. Truly an experience of a lifetime.

Going down first not bad at all.
