    And my summit team, father and son, at the top of Mt Baker 10,700ft. Not the tallest of mountains but one of the most glaciated in the Pacific Northwest except for Mt Rainer. Getting up at 1AM and on the summit by 630 and with the brisk gale winds we had I even had my wind pants on. I do maintain a little sanity.

    Awesome!

    My father and I are both avid mountaineers (have tackled all, but one, of Colorado's Fourteeners) and have been for most of our lives (I began climbing at age 5). My father summited the Grand Tetons twice (with Exum Mountain Guides), the past two summers and has been training extremely hard for his second summit attempt of Mt. Rainier this summer. I will be meeting him after his ascent of Mt. Rainier in Colorado to climb Mount of the Holy Cross, our last Fourteener then we have done them all! My father, who is 57 years of age, a retired Biologist and high school Biology teacher, and resides in Chesterfield, Missouri (a suburb of St. Louis, where I'm originally from), also has plans to trek in the Himalayas around the base camp of Mt. Everest, climb several peaks in Mexico, and tackle Mt. McKinley in Alaska. He's quite the mountaineer, which makes sense...we are of Scottish Highland ancestry after all!

    Here's a quote in which my father e-mailed me just yesterday:

    "To those who have struggled with them, the mountains reveal beauties that they will not disclose to those who make no effort. That is the reward the mountains give to effort. And it is because they have so much to give and give it so lavishly to those who will wrestle with them that men love the mountains and go back to them again and again. The mountains reserve their choice gifts for those who stand upon their summits."

    -Sir Francis Younghusband

    Climb on!

    When I saw your name as new poster in this thread, I thought for sure it would be one of your infamous RenFaire "is there a kilt in that picture" shots. . . you gotta be working up a sweat in every one of those! LOL

    To be honest, I don't do much sweating in my kilts, apart from the occasional hike. I feel bad sometimes for being one of those folks around here who endlessly discusses the minutiae of THCD and often post pics of myself just posing to show off an outfit because I know this drives poor Alan to distraction. As my way of making it up to him, I accepted this months challenge.

    My usual workout is Chinese kung fu and the uniform down at the club most definitely does not involve a kilt! Here's a few pics of me working up a sweat at home in my Sportkilt while practising on my wooden dummy. I hope this doesn't break any forum rules

    Just the hands moving:


    Stepping around for another move:


    In between moves:


    I couldn't resist one posed photo, but my excuse is that this one shows my sweatiness the best


    To be honest, a kilt isn't that great for this kind of workout because of the kicking, which I had the decency NOT to take pics of Still, it was kind of fun for a lark

    If I wanted to do more working out in a kilt, I think it would be more fun to do some Scottish backhold wrestling. Does anyone know of a group in the Toronto area?

    I was tempted to throw a picture or two up here, but I don't sweat. I glow stinkily.


    And Colin: I'm digging those monkstrap brogues.

    yes, they're the correct, proper, and traditional footwear choice when practising "kilted kung fu"

    But seriously, you should post some stinky glow pictures. I don't think the OP would somehow disallow them for a lack of sweat...
