Well it's been a few days and so much has happened. First and foremost, Adrian appears to have summited on Saturday at about 2:15 p.m. I say ``appears`` because the e-mail I received from the guiding company only described it as the team. I can only assume that means everyone.
Lead guide Christian Santelices phoned the guiding company from Piedras Blancas high camp and reported quite a bit of fresh snow and difficult trail-breaking conditions.
Their plan was to descend to Base Camp Plaza de Mulas on Sunday and trek out to Pennitentes today. I have always understood that it takes three days, but maybe it will be shorter. Based on what the guiding company said that would bring Adrian back on Tuesday afternoon.
High adventure wherever we can find it.
The former vagabonds
We've officially hung up our vagabond hats. We are back at work and are actually living in a house - not a tent.
But that doesn't mean we're not seeking out adventure whenever (and wherever) we can.
For those who just want to read about our 2,650-mile trek along the Pacific Crest Trail, scroll down and check out our slideshows or go to the archives. We started the trail April 29, 2008 and finished Sept. 25, 2008.

What's up with the blog slogan, anyway?
We don't intend to traipse around in Chanel and Christopher Josse duds, thank you.
We're talking about how we approach life, including the hard parts. We were inspired by Clint Eastwood's The Eiger Sanction of all things. This explains it all.
