Yay  Sucess!

Extremely cold day with high winds. Climbed this mountain with my summer hiking shoes, and was the first one on the trail that day, so I sunk in knee deep snow half the trail- pretty tiring considering a couple of days ago I was sunbathing in Virginia. There were a few other guys skiing and snowshoeing, we seemed to be the only ones in actual shoes. Totally a great achievement though. Started at about 9am (professional, right?) and finished at 4pm at a fairly relaxed pace.

Winter, snowboard descent  Sucess!

Slow climb up- pretty warm out. Reached the summit in 4 hours. So windy, be careful up there. Boarded down from the summit to the car. Be careful on ski descents to plan out a route and get down before the snow turns to slush... happy climbing guys.

Early Spring Ski  Sucess!

Standard route, skin up and ski down. Continuous snow, but a well packed out track, seemed a lot of people were doing okay w/o snowshoes. Ski conditions were better up high than in the trees, a little crusty in the trees made turns interesting, but a little bit of new snow made the high slopes nice for carving.

West Ridge  Sucess!

Enjoyable scramble over and around towers of broken blocks. Patches of ice on the north side made it more interesting. Shocked by the hordes of people on top that came in from the east ridge. Descended the Cristo Couloir to Blue Lake.

Snowhike.  Sucess!

I couldn't wait that year for the summer and so we went for Quandary east ridge as early as the snow was soft.

North Arete  Sucess!

HOLY CRAP! Saw no one all morning on the north side until...we hit the standard route. A regular conga-line of folks hiking up the sstndard route. Must have been over 200+ people.
Now know why I DON'T hike or climb 14ers on the weekends.
