Late

I suppose the report is a bit late, and that all of you have read the more timely and exciting version on offcamber, but I like to hear myself write, and procrastinate, so here it is.

Basically we went skiing in september. it was a valiant goal that unfortunately turned into a very long hike with thirty plus pound packs. what started as a cold and windy morning stretched into a leisurely midday, and a very long, warm and sunny afternoon. We did get some turns, which were cool, but largely so because of the novelty of skiing in september. Don't get me wrong, it was a killer time up in the high country, but as far as a ski trip goes, the combination of dv8's incident combined with a 7 hour day, it was slightly wearisome. It makes for some sweet pics though...



hiking: around the tunnel, early am.

looking up towards the day's line. it looks nice from here

from the looks of this, it could easily be january in greenland or somewhere. mike dropping the bergschreund on run #3
