Some people climb a mountain just because it's there.
This ambitious team, which has joined forces with the Breast Cancer Fund of San Francisco for logistical and fund-raising support, has already begun to work out more than an hour each day to build strength and stamina. They have done training climbs in the Cascades of Washington State and spent a week in January climbing California's rugged Mt. Shasta. We'll both be ferrying loads up. Each group will have its own guide, certified by the American Alpine Institute. Burhardt, who is currently doing junior independent work and climbing in Nepal, will guide the Princeton women.
