Roy,
Thanks for the inspiration for the beginning of the dark season. The peaks look pretty rubbly in summer, but just add a blanket of snow and it disappears.

Tarbuster, climbing's easy...hiking (and comedy) is hard.

Roy, more than any other poster here, you get to the real heart of what's so engrossing and life-enhancing about climbing. It's not about difficulty per se, or any absolute limits, but about our relationship with the rocks and hills, ice and snow, the people we're with, and our internal responses that lead us into a sort of blind awareness of ourselves and the universe.
You make me think, and feel, and remember. Thanks for all that, Tar.

Tar does have a way of putting the right perspective on things. What a nice way to watch another season drift off into winter. Thanks Roy!

Roy Boy,
I think we climbed together on and off for 6 or 7 years. So more than most you know how I feel about hiking... but your post here was pretty damn inspiring. It didn't choke me up like reading the "Perfect Life" thread, but it was pretty nice.
Great job bro.

Tarbuster, I've done most of this traverse (from Pawnee Peak on). The section above Blue Lake turned me around though (as approached from the East). I have a strong aversion for large teetering blocks. How did you find this section and the Rabbit Ears? Mostly left, mostly right or ? Thanks.

Mestagh,
On the rock ridge from Little Pawnee to Pawnee, heading west past Blue Lake, I most often stayed right (north) when necessary to keep it 3rd/4th class, with some weaving to the left (south) side. Where are the Rabbit Ears?
'Glad everyone enjoyed the presentation!
Thanks for the compliments.

Bump for the rubblicious reverie. That was quite moving, tar.

Rabbit Ears .. not sure if I got that from Roach's Indian Peak guide or based on the obvious impressive twin tower view from the South. I'll have to get back up there next summer and try to weave my way through this section.
Thanks for the info and great post, Tarbuster!
