"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

fun ridge, alternate accessStarted up to ridge via a gully by one of the upper mining cabins. Not bad quality and quicker than going around to other side. Traverse to Pacific after.

SunburnOh, I got so friggin' sunburned on this day. We had a HUGE snowpack, and the day was bright and sunny. There was no sunscreen on earth that could protect my lily white face!!!

Oh yeah!What a day! That ridge is an awesome winter climb. Even in a whiteout blizzard. Climbed with Mike B. to 300 ft from summit. I'll be back a couple more times no doubt.
