Modern Man behind Elkhorn Peak. A route started by Kevin Bein who got it to 3/4 height and finished by Eric Hansen in 2011. One of the last spires of difficulty summited. It goes at 5.12 on the right side of the formation.

I have been working on a story about my visits...
I am so stuck ...
I feel that to write about the magic properly I have to get back there
with my family to see it through the eyes of my kids and soak in the vibes.
.... just love the place, was 1st there in 81 just before Barb & Kevin arrived.
Some of the locals (got to spell the names right ...Mehue?) mistook Dana H. and I for the mighty pair and made off with our entire camp leaving a cryptic note. (a joke that made no sense to us)
It is hard to explain the feelings that we had, having driven so far and being fed up with gunks jokes like raiding our camp, sand bagging and the rest, all very much a part of coming up as better than just good climbers at the time, (include ultimate Cow pie lightning bolt pile of choss sandbag story)
We wanted to stretch our wings in our own right, without any shadows of greatness. That’s why we had hit the road to the backwaters not the limelights such as the valley or the Diamond. Dana was more than a bit pissed at the camp raid and it took him a bit to join in the fun. ... We were treated to wild game bbQ and the best locals tour of the magic kingdom ...
It needs a lot of inspired work. There is so much about every visit to tell. Much of it does not resonate with the current gym/number sprayers... the place is magic I tell you just magic. Equinox ! ! !

Speaking of magical, what in the name of physics is going on at the Cosmos Mystery Area?
And the summits. They're all unique.
(I would prefer the whole area to be wilderness, but it's not...)

guess it was a day of rainbows around here. This was couple minutes ago back in Spearfish after my daughter woke me up from my nap coming in yelling there was a double rainbow almost as excited as the guy on the viral video. One more from this morning without inhabited color.
