"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."

South SlopesWe got stormed off Saturday over the crux section, had to downclimb it in graupel. Then Sunday we went back and were successful on a gorgeous bluebird day with no clouds. Stiff grunt and lots of loose rock make this one tougher than the stats. With Kevin and Sarah.

what a scree fest!I took the "Iron Mountain trail" in, which I already knew from exploring it last year (S 6) and ascended the last grass patch (the most eastern one) on Mears as high as I could. Then I was traversing east and up along the cliffs, I did not take the easiest route up - I would rate mine as 3+, but eventually made it to the ridge. From there it was easy to go up towards the summit.
The traverse to S 7 took a while.
