It was weird, in a way, to be inside the air-conditioned epicenter of the Outdoor Industry knowing my friends were attempting a great achievement in the real outdoors. How many other stories of courage and tenacity were floating around the minds of people standing near me? Who, in street clothes, has accomplished the greatness the marketing people in this A Lange & Sohne Men's watch building are trying to sell?It took several tries to understand Frippes explanation that Trey had left a day early and was in camp 3 even though he was calling from camp 2.

It is hard to consider if stainless steel or blacked steel is better, you have to suppose that it is down to personal taste and hoe you are going to be wearing the watch. It has to be assumed that the blacked version is likely to get scratched more and then look untidy if the user has a job that requires manual of heavy work.

I find it hard to wrap my mind around the notion of then hopping onto skis and skiing through the traverse and bottle neck above the shoulder.When pressed to make predictions on conditions and outcome of skiing success Trey simply said they wont know until they get there. The snow below them is looking good but the upper section below the summit is an unknown. One of the things that makes altitude climbing occasionally compared to a drug, the part that is both terrifying and addictive, is the need to fully commit. There is a A Lange & Sohne 115.026 Men's Watch need to push to edge and dance along its fickle edge. Trey and Frippe are fully committed and it is that focus and drive that makes these remarkable men who they are. More tomorrow as time and satellite phone connections permit.

From August 3, 2010. Below, Trey Cooks friend, David Schipper, relays information from Cook and Fredrik Ericssons skiing expedition on K2. As I was standing in line to enter the Outdoor Retailer Show in Salt Lake City UT my phone rang with the familiar 88.... prefix. A few days ago Trey had emailed me from base camp to see if I A Lange & Sohne 107.021 Men's Watch was up for another round of summit/ sat phone reports. I havent heard anything from him since but I did see a bunch of emails jumping around talking about sat phone challenges.

Though this is true a significant amount of the time there are also times with intense sun, little wind and uncomfortably hot conditions. Yesterday was a hot one.The heat prompted a lot of movement on the mountain. Avalanches and rock fall could be heard all day. Luckily, actually purposefully, camp 3 is in a very safe aspect and there is very little chance of avalanche danger. Trey and Frippe were surprised late in the afternoon when a grapefruit sized rock flew through the top of their tent. Noone was hurt except the tents feelings. Corum 039-250-20-0F08PN96R WoMen's watch Frippe and the other climbers from camp 2 rolled into 3 at about 11:30 AM. The trip up was uneventful and the warm conditions were appreciated over high winds of last week. I should apologize to Ralf for misspelling his name. Until now I had been using an o instead of an a. We should be good now.Trey was positively enthusiastic about the way things are shaping up for the summit attempt.

The weather could not be better, the team is feeling excellent and this mountain appears to be showing some compassion.Tomorrows departure is scheduled for 5:00 AM with a goal of being in camp 4 at 8000m on the shoulder by 3:00 PM. Then as midnight nears they will start their huge day toward the summit. In the rarified air of A Lange & Sohne Tourbograph Pour le Merite Men summiting K2 it is interesting to suggest that the real crux is yet to come for Frippe. Reaching the summit of this stunning peak has proved impossible for many climbers. It is a funny mix of timing, determination, and a great deal of luck.

Yesterday it looked like everyones dreams of Lance Armstrongs Astana team participating in New Mexicos Tour of the Gila stage race were done. But this morning Armstrongs teammate Levi Leipheimer said on his Twitter account that theres been another change of plans, and the team would be heading to Silver City, after all. No word yet on whether Armstrong will be joining them.The confusion stemmed from a seldom A Lange & Sohne 308.021 Men's Watch enforced rule that prohibits Pro Tour teams from participating in smaller races like the Gila. The UCI, cyclings governing body, said that it would not allow the Astana riders to compete in the event. But it now looks like theyve backed down. Dang. I had considered entering the Gila with my local team here in Santa Fe. Really wishing Id done that now.—John Bradley

Below, Trey Cooks friend, David Schipper, relays information from Cook and Fredrik Ericssons skiing expedition on K2. Todays call showed up on my cell phone while I was having coffee before another day at the Outdoor Retailer Show. Trey and I chatted for 7 minutes with excellent clarity and the most relaxed conversation so far. Corum 039-250-20-0F01EB30R WoMen's watch Today was a crazy beautiful day... said Trey. Inside the tent the temperature was over 40 degrees Celcius (Over 100F) during the heat of the day. There is a common misconception that high altitude climbing is super cold and frostbite is lurking everywhere.

I guess I dont understand risk, but it seems to be part of everything we do- or dont do.Beth Dayton, MD Just got off the phone with Johan Bruyneel, who confirmed that Lance Armstrong will be racing the Tour of the Gila with Astana teammates Levi Leipheimer and Chris Horner. Bruyneel was in a Florida airport on his way to Aspen, where he will meet up with Armstrong and fly to Silver City, New Mexico, the host city for the Corum 039-250-20-0F03FB30S WoMen's watch annual five-day stage race.Yesterday it looked like Astana would be barred from the Gila due to a rarely enforced rule that prohibits UCI Pro teams from competing in smaller races like the Gila. Evidently, though, the UCI (cyclings governing body) relented. So the Astana crew will be there. The race will be Armstrongs first since breaking his collar bone and his only race before next months Giro dItalia.See you in Silver City?—John Bradley

It would be different for sure.In 1976, we were theonly team on the mountain. In 1983, we were the only party on the SouthCol Route. On both trips we had to lead the entire route.
