|
|
 |
| Yeah, it was worth it and I would do it again... |
|
|
|
 |
| Should have brought a board... or tobagan.... |
|
|
|
 |
| Oh look! Snow! |
|
|
|
 |
| Looking west again... |
|
|
|
 |
| Summit shot! |
|
|
|
 |
| Partner took the camera, roof on the last pitch... |
|
|
|
 |
| I'm fairly sure I'm sitting in ice water, in jeans, in the shade... |
|
|
|
 |
| Sun! I was so grateful... |
|
|
|
 |
| Don't ask... |
|
|
|
 |
| Trying to teach a 5.12 sport climber to crack climb in the cold is a Sisyphean task... |
|
|
|
 |
| Following in fine form, even carried my shoes! |
|
|
|
 |
| Yes, socks, I was grateful for dry socks... |
|
|
|
 |
| Looking west... |
|
|
|
 |
| Top of pitch one, the crack was odd, the dikes were wet... |
|
|
|
 |
| Not much dry ground to be had... |
|
|
|
 |
| The hill over there looks warmer than this hill over here... |
|
|
|
 |
| The Line, the only dry line, not in line with anything falling... |
|
|
|
 |
| End of previous tracks, begin trail breaking and talus climbing... |
|
|
|
 |
| My climbing buddy, complete with nifty cap... |
