"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."

Day hikeAccidentally came up the forth face and hit some class 3 rock - nothing too dicey, though. Beautiful mountain meadows on the way up and spectacular views from the summit. Car to car in 11 hours.

Summited via NE CouloirHad a great weekend climb with Ray Regalado and Alex "the badass" Barber. Next season we all promised we'd return for a ski descent. A big thanks to Moose for the Beta.

Easy PeasyDid this one the Labor Day weekend after a couple weeks on the trail so acclimated well and was strong. Hiked it with a friend who knew the route well so I was able to walk on up without much concern for routefinding. Lots of fun on a warm day with big poofy cottonball clouds. Great memory.

NE CouloirVery warm temperatures made for some soft snow on the last pitch of the couloir. Nice skiing but some small slides in the couloir in the afternoon.

Tuttle CreekAs of alot of climbs in the 88-92 time frame unsure of the date. Funny thing for one of the easier 14ers I had one of my closest calls with a ~200 slab sliding over my stomach as I limbo'ed down slope. Funky.

COLD Thanksgiving weekendNot much snow in the Sierra this fall so we drove over Tioga pass and spent two nights camped by Lake 4. Incredibly cold but luckily no wind, and as it would turn out no snow of any significance anywhere either.
The first afternoon Lake 4 was 1/3 frozen, and maybe 1/4 inch thick at most where we camped. All weekend we could hear sounds from the lakes as they froze over, and by the time we left Lake 4 was completely frozen and took some aggression with an ice axe to get through over 1" of ice.

Normal RouteClimbed Langley with my good bud Kamyar. It was a good second 14er for him after I drug him up Tyndall where he almost shite himself. We spent that Saturday fishing lake 4 and up and back to the car on Sunday. Standing on the summit made me wish I had a base chute!

2nd FourteenerWent up via New Army Pass after a night of camping at Long Lake. Made it a long day by attempting Cirque Peak but weather and time wasn't on our side.
