Went to climb an unnamed couloir (which we dubbed "Flour Power") on Otis Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park Colorado with Dan, Andy, Nelson, & Fabio.

We were not successful in our ascent as the snow conditions were a bit "off", so we turned around after the first rock/ice crux. These pictures are from that trip.

Thanks! Overall, we were very lucky. Nelson kept the average within reason, with a pulled hamstring and calf, and a cut finger. A small cut, fortunately, but the shredding of the glove was witness to the violence of the impact.
