Adventures of a Crofton Climber

March 13th, 2008 Categories: Crofton News

Crofton resident Art Huseonica recently completed a trip to the Grand Canyon, where he and Prescott, Arizona’s Ray Bellam climbed “rim-to-river and back out in one day.” For photos and more about their adventures, read Denali Ice Agers Train in Grand Canyon.

The Ice Agers are a team of mountain climbers preparing for the Denalis West Buttress Expedition, scheduled to climb Mt. McKinley May 19–June 12. For anyone who doesn’t know, that’s the highest peak in North America. It sounds like Art’s Grand Canyon excursion was a training climb for the upcoming “big one” in Alaska.

For more information, check out the American Alpine Institute website and their Climbing Blog. Between now and May, I’ll try to catch up with Art for his input on what we should be watching for, as we follow the excursion online.

Art teaches for University of Maryland University College and works for SchoolMart.com, when he isn’t climbing mountains.
