"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

South RidgeLead an introductory trip to class 3 climbing for my buddies Matthew S, Mike C, and Jeremy R. Just the right difficulty and length by veering to the right (east) of the ridge crest.

Surprisingly fun ridgeWas prepared to be underwhelmed but was pleasantly surprised by fun class 3 scrambling. If you stay on the ridge itself there is some exposed class 4 to spice it up. Recommended if you have a couple of hours to kill!

down, up, and down again!Led the first and third pitch of the N Arete & simul-climbed to the summit. Descended the S Ridge, taking a difficult line staying on the crest the entire way (cl. 4-5). Then I realized I left my sneakers on the summit, so I climbed up and down an easier line utilizing the ledge system to the east cl. 3).

South Ridge VariationTook my 10-year-old and twin 7-year-old sons up a South Ridge variation, approached via Crystal Lake, descended to TJ Lake and back to Lake George. The little guys had a great time.
