I had the pleasure to meet Mark Schmude after he and some mates from the UK had been climbing themselves silly in our neighboring town, Ouray, CO. We had a nice evening swapping stories and tipping back a couple of pints and it made my night to hear his voice come through on our podcast line this evening.
Enjoy!

Hey Markie,
ReplyDeleteGreat to here from you. All sounds a bit easy to me(?!) when does the hard stuff begin (he he) - sounds like a bit of a food fest to me. Missing you here - weather was amazing over the weekend although spent much of it lugging boxes in preparation for the move this Friday - Yippee! Just to let you know of another summiteer to give you inspiration - John climbed Snowdon last week at the tender age of three (well walking 70% of the way up and 2% of the way down definitely counts as a summit in my book - no comments thanks!)
Take care and look after that Nano (am already bored of Stereophonics on a loop....)

Hi, Markie, Great to hear your voice. Sounds like you are having a great time and all is going well. Bravo! It's got be very strenous, however you are strong! The beauty you must be experiencing is probably "out of this world!" :) OH!

Greetings and best wishes to your team. We are keeping all of you in our prayers.

Hi Mark,
ReplyDeleteI'm thrilled for you. All those months of hard training and preparation are coming together at the right time. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for good weather and a successful summit.
At this end, I took your advice and went to the Giro after my work trip to Turin. I'll tell you all about it over a beer or three when you get back to London.
Be safe,
Jurgen

Hey, Mark!
ReplyDeleteYou sound great...as always, so good to hear your voice.
Sounds like you took some music up there with you...I was wondering what you might do on rest days on a climb like this.
You are going to have some outstanding photos!
The whole family is eagerly following this blog. I even have some friends following, too.
Can't stop thinking about what you might be doing out there every moment of my day! :)
Love you lots, and may you make that amazing summit,
Kim
