Soaked and cold, but at the summit

Phew, well that was awesome. It was dirzzling with a light breeze when the climb started, and by the time we were at the top the wind was so strong the rain was going sideways and felt like little bullets hitting our faces. It wasn't particularly cold, but the wetness made it feel a lot colder than it was.

All part of the experience though. If you're going to climb a 400m bridge, do you want it to be a walk in the park in the sun, or a challenge? I wouldn't have changed a thing about yesterday.

I'll post a few photos from the climb in a little while when I go back downtown and get some shots of the building.

Hi Ryan
Glad you're on track and starting to enjoy your trip. Will try to get Penny's phone number from her parents to call you. The pics are great - glad to hear you're going to New Zealand -it's supposed to be spectacular. What about Fiji? - or is that pushing it!!!! Thinking of you lots.
Love Mom
