Daytime Phone: 650-508-0500 Evening Phone: same Email Address: on file - send a message to Steve Eckert Web Page: http://www.climber.org/eckert/ City, State, Zip: Belmont, CA Finished the SPS Peaks List a while ago. Finished the DPS Peaks List list a few years ago. Now looking for off-list peaks or non-standard routes. Big peaks include Denali/McKinley, Aconcagua, Ojos del Salado, Elbrus, Orizaba (etc), Kilimanjaro, Mera... but lately most climbs are in the Sierra Nevada or the desert. Mountaineering climbs preferred over technical climbs, snow preferred over rock. I'm free to climb any day of the week, so call me if you want to avoid the two-day weekend warrior thing. I try never to spend more time in the car than I spend climbing!
