This was one of my best vacations! Sleeping in on comfy double ledges until 7:30, sipping TJ canned lattes for breakfast with fruit cups, a nice cigar after hauling the pigs - a wonderful wonderful time!!
I'm so glad you guys did it! I just wish I could've been there. I have a feeling that those Ak-Mak crackers and Easy Cheese were big part of the success...... ;)
Ha ha ha ha ha -- you got us absolutely ADDICTED to those Ak-Maks and Easy Cheese!!! And Kris, in case you forgot, you WERE there. We all did it! Yipeeeeeeee!!!!
Great job & nice TR, Carolyn! So well written, I almost feel like I was there (or I feel like I was almost there, anyway)! Did Craig make sure to get permission from the FAionists to retrobolt the route?? Looks & sounds like a great time & a great climb! Beautiful surroundings, too.
Thanks so much for you nice comments Dirk! "Did Craig make sure to get permission from the FAionists to retrobolt the route??" -- LOL, I was present when Craig received permission. It went something like this: "Self, would it be ok if I replaced the 20 year old rivets?" [Turned head other direction] "Why, Self, I understand your concerns with those old bolts." [Turned head other direction] "So, Self, I assume it's ok to rebolt?" [Turned head other direction] "Yes Self, it's ok with me." ;^)
