"After the first glass, you see things as you wish they were. After the second, you see things as they are not. Finally, you see things as they really are, which is the most horrible thing in the world."

June snow climbingLovely sunny morning solo ascent of this northern face snow chute. From Honeymoon Pass I traversed the grass and bouldery slope to the small cirque at the base of the N. Face and climbed the most continuous gully of snow to the top (ending just a few feet east of the summit). Would have been a bit better perhaps with more snow (very light snow cover this year), but also maybe harder, with the crux sections (now dirty/wet/muddy rock) being near vertical snow for 50'.
