FGA Team Ponders Kili Successes, Prepares for Everest, Loch Ness, the Grampian Whisky Trail, and the French Alps
Posted by: Fluge Support on September 11th, 2007Some of you have been asking for some pics of the FGA climbers on Kili – the first few are at the bottom of this article – you'll have to see the rest on the final documentary version of the FGA 07 adventures in their entirety (scheduled for early next year).
The FGA climb team Carter, King, Shelton and Fluge are looking at splitting up to achieve a couple of final 07 adventures (to fill that documentary) still as part of a unified FGA!
Preparation is still moving ahead for the Everest Trek (with our good friends at Alpine Ascents). We have added a journey to northern Scotland in October to do initial ground work for a possible 08 "Mission to Find the Loch Ness Monster". During those few fall days we'll also mountain bike the "Grampian Malt Whisky Trail" and represent FGA at 8 Scottish distilleries. Finally, after a brief stay in Paris we'll move to the south of France and do a little climbing in the French Alps.
We may have to flip a coin to see which 2 person group takes on which challenge – or…we might just see who prefers the wonderful Nepal culture to the malt whiskys of Scotland (the tastings might help us envision the Loch Ness Monster).
Anyway in the weeks to come our site may be down for maintenance for a while as we prepare for a new look and theme in 2008. Hope you are thinking of us as we explore both Europe and Asia in October – it will be a busy month. We look forward to bringing you more unique adventures in 2008.

Wow you guys ROCK! And, in a literal sense, too! I don’t know whose hearts were palpitating more at the high altitudes but I’d like to ponder and guess.
