A blog name

We couldn't come up with a name for this blog for the looooongest time! We started with climbandsmile, then considered oyfortheloveoflife, then kvetchingandclimbing. Nothing seemed right....and then....we came up up with lchaim, but that was taken. But climbchai was not! "Chai" means life in Hebrew, the "ch" is kind of a throaty "h"not a "ch" like the beverage. It would look like this in Hebrew: חי.

So there we have it, a new blog with a new title and a new adventure that starts in FOUR days! We have packing and prepping to do, but we are mostly on target for a Monday departure. First stop, Missoula, Montana to visit a very good friend of ours. Then we are headed to Squamish, British Columbia with a stop for Shabbat somewhere along the way.

In other news, the trip has been downscaled a touch. We are now aiming for roughly 6 months with some added international adventures.

Have any climbing destination suggestions? Good meal ideas for the road? Send them our way!
