"So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life."

Brutal day from Denny CreekBefore going I checked out slope angles and forest cover on caltopo, and avy conditions were green at all elevations and aspects. I thought this would be a pretty easy 6-ish miler from Denny Creek even as a solo trail-breaker. Man, was I wrong! Even with good avy conditions, I wanted to be on the north ridge instead of the gully, but getting there was like committing seppuku -- given the steep, shin- to knee-deep, slippery, sugar snow. On top of that, I had to navigate a lot of deadfall and thick forest with snowshoes on. Once I got above treeline, things were fine, though. Beautiful day.

Just shoot meEpic winter ascent of SE ridge from Cottonwood Lake (winter closure). The snow on the ridge was very deep and unconsolidated. At one point we resorted to breaking out shovels to remove snow for upward progress! One team member proclaimed: "Just shoot me!".

Gladstone RidgeVery beautiful area. I had climbed the nearby Jones Mountain via Ptarmigan Lake Trail in autumn of 2009. Nice to see the area again, this time with the green colors of summer.
