"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."

Wild Basin LoopVery long hike in Wild Basin with Steve and John. Went up Copeland via Ouzel Lake, traversed to Ogalalla and Elk Tooth, then back down to the trailhead via Pear Lake trail. Really liked the ridge from Ogalalla to the saddle with Elk Tooth, reminded me of the Gore. The Elk Tooth side wasn't as much fun, a little loose.

From Ouzel PeakIt is a long hike via Wild Basin TH and you are definitely alone once you get past Ouzel Falls. I don't remember seeing anyone enroute. Very flat on the Continental Divide.

Traverse from Elk ToothI was attempting the Tooth to Tooth Traverse, but I had to bail before I made it to "Red Deer Mountain" due to approaching t-storm clouds.

Via Ouzel PeakLong day, but great to finally summit Ogalalla, after the scree slog up the N slopes of Ouzel Pk from Pipit Lake.

Birth of the Tooth to Tooth TraverseVery interesting day. Had planned on traverse between Elk Tooth & Ogalalla but went crazy and continued on over "Ooh La La", "Red Deer Mountain" & Sawtooth Mountain. I coined it the tooth to tooth traverse.

Traverse from Elks ToothA nice scramble from Elks Tooth and the St Vrain Basin. Views from the top are wonderful and worth the approach. Some decent class 3/4 rock on the ridge.

S RidgeWe climbed this from the West, camping in Hell Canyon. Also that day we did Cooper and Marten peaks. Amazing area, and on a summer weekend, three-day backpack, we saw not one other person. Hurray for the west side!
