"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."

Heck of a hike!Glad you survived the postholing and night bushwhacking. I see that, as usual, you got unnaturally nice weather... Those shots of the Crestone group are truly top notch. That catwalk looks like a lot of fun, too!

Re: Heck of a hike!Ah, yes...But the scientist in me still wants to know: How, _how_ does he do it??? (It only "sort of" worked for me last September, as we were being _snowed on_ leaving the TH...)

GodPatrick:
I know some on here would shun the notion of this, but my mom is so worried about me that she always prays hard for me on Saturdays knowing that I'm probably doing something a bit dangerous. She is a prayer warrior. It surely can't hurt! If I was to go back and look at my records, I think my summit success rate has got to be 95% or greater and I'm not particularly fast either! So if you hike with me you have angels on your side.
