"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

South SideWith Bethel from Dry Gulch, was holding snow in the couloir but was soft enough and had old kick steps, no crampons were needed. Short and quick outing, a great half day spring climb!

The CitadelI climbed "The Citadel" with slowpoke before traversing over to Pettingell. It was a long, but very fun day of scrambling and ridge running. I’ve pondered Someday repeating the traverse, starting with Mt. Bethel. It might be fun to ring Herman Gulch as completely as possible.

The CitadelWell, I guess I need to repost this since Aaron was nice enough to delete all this stuff. Climbed this with a friend of my brother after Hagar (apparently another Aaron deletion) and Trelease. Was a really fun day with some fun scrambling. Blue sky, no clouds all day. Sucked wind as I am not from the area or elevation. Hit both summits just to be sure. Thanks, Aaron - now I will never know what I originally put in the log or what I was thinking at that time.
Good luck with the rewrite Gareth.
