On my first climb in the area, I felt obligated to jaunt over and bag Eichorn. One of the most aesthetic spires anywhere. For all the traffic on Cathedral I'm surprised more people don't climb this thing.

Sarah and I completed a perfect day by climbing this perfect peak after climbing Cathedral. It doesn't get much better than this.

Exposure and snowy ledges made for a few spicy moments. A long awaited summit for me - lived up to expectations. Thanks to Greg for returning the day after climbing Cathedral.

5.4 route
My friends took me up Eichorn a couple of years ago. This time I led the 5.4 route. It was a lot of fun. One pitch of 60m rope gets to the top, with a bit of rope drag.

Climbed the North Face with Tana after climbing the SE Buttress on Cathedral. Strong winds picked up as we climbed but still a great day out.

West Pillar 5.9
Tougher than we expected, esp. the 2nd pitch. The "rib wrestling" on the last pitch might be my favorite part, but it wasn't my lead ;-)
Route Climbed: West Pillar Date Climbed: July 1, 1989
A very enjoyable Rt. Did the standard West Pillar rt. with Hugh Sakols. Avoided the 5.8 flare on pitch 3 by continuing the traverse to the right and around a corner. Fun cracks led straight up to the top of pitch 3.

Soloed just behind Mike Shaffer (YMG) and his client. Snagged the last summit entry in the register (simple fate). Downclimbed same route. Beautiful late season weather!

Whoopee!! Freedom from Uncle Sam's Misguided Children. Celebrated my retirement from the military after 20 years of service on top of Eichorn. Those that shared the moment: Craig Peer, Michele Beaty, Roger Hayashi and Jason "Fall Guy" Laird. Thanks to Craig and Alice, we enjoyed champagne on the summit. Michele did her best impression of "The Mummy Returns". BTW Chele, nice job climbing with your hand in a cast!! Sorry, the summit register wasn't signed in blood this year....
