"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."

Decalibron clockwise1st stop on my decalibron success. Clear skies at 6am, but slowly deteriorated to a bit of hail coming down Bross.

Nice Winter Ascent, hellish return to town on Kite Lake RoadI'm on the road now but I will probably write a trip report when I have a chance. Just be aware that there are continuing land/mine owner issues and the public access to even the trailheads at Kite Lake (not just the summits). For example, on my return to town, someone plowed/built a 4' high and 8' thick snow berm completely across the road to completely block cars from getting back down (the berm was not there in the morning). Fortunately, I had my avalanche shovel to dig it out. Let's just say it took me a while to level it down for my Prius to pass.

Mt. DemocratThe spent the night at Kite Lake and it was very cold; below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. I did the not Democrat because the weather wasn’t very good and when I was on the summit, it was all whited out. It rained most of the descent but I was wearing rain cloths so I was fine. Disappointed I didn’t hit any other peaks.

Decalibron with the fam, carrying my daughter.3:36 elapsed time. We got started late (1:30pm) and saw several people coming down during the first mile. Windy, but not cold, and we got hailed on a couple times. Journey hiked until it got steep and hard and I carried her to the Democrat split off where Brita took her. Brita went on to Cameron and Bross, while I ran as much as possible while getting Democrat, Cameron, and Lincoln. Democrat was tougher than expected, and the footing is terrible. I got to the summit of Bross 7 minutes after they did. Coming down Bross on that slippery pea gravel with a 4 year old on your back with a dinged up foot is not for the faint of heart, but we made it. Journey was a little odd up at 14,000 feet, but was back to herself once we got down to 13,000. She ran once I let her out and impressively did all the stream crossings on the rocks all by herself without falling in. Fun day out, and a great day to conquer 4 14ers in one go!
