"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."

Fun climbMy first ice climb in vail area. We were planning to do also the fang, which did not form this year. However designator was a nice and pumpy climb.

And Again :)Lead left side in the worse cauliflower conditions I've seen. Akward and a little strenous. Left side is def. a little harder then the right.

AgainI've been on this thing a few times now. Lead it recently. It was so hacked out that it was overhanging.

ClassicLead it. 20 ft. from the top got extremely pumped. Had to bail off to be safe. Next time I'll get it! This climb is long and a very exhausting one to lead. Such s classic though.

Ice is NiceLots of rope strech and the knot in a tricky spot added extra challenges.

Good Times.Ben lead it, Eric and I top-roped it(tricky). Longest vertical ice I've been on yet. Love the burn! Def. a classic.
