Namaste.

My name is Andrew Frost. I am, quite joyfully, now a WF student, thanks to the generosity of Coach and the members of this tribe who contributed to my scholarship.

I live in Flagstaff, AZ, beneath these Sacred Peaks, with my partner, Celia, and son, Rowan.

As a condition to my scholarship, Steve has asked that I provide updates concerning my preparation for a route I hope to climb on the Southwest Face of Denali this summer, the Denali Diamond. I believe that Coach has already provided some details about this route to the community here.

It is, without a doubt, a committing and serious route. I am, therefore, given renewed confidence and motivation by having the honor of my WF membership bestowed on me.

But I cannot promise success on Denali in exchange for this honor; success in the high mountains is often determined by objective hazards beyond human influence. Mountains, too, sometimes fall out of their poses, their postures of stability and permanence.

I can only pledge my continued honesty and humility and purity of effort as a way to honor those who have enabled me.

And because I am humbled to be part of this community of seekers, this clan of pranic warriors.

Namaste.

Bowed,

Andrew
