Looks like people are saying don't bother worrying about which peaks to climb because you're going to be rushing on the traverse.

Poe Ridge trail is a great hike but it's not a traverse so you go out and turn around and come back.

Quick! Run this over while Mrs. Bush is weeding and dump some dirt down her pants...

2 hours 42 minutes car to car!!!!!

"Since we're gonna be here another four years anyway, I thought I would put in a pool."

Yeah right.....

Saw lots on the Dome Glacier this past weekend......

Try again......

Ok, Thar she blows! It's also barely in the pic in the red Beckey spread of the Silver Lake area on pg 135.

I took a couple of pics of the E face of E Mox while over on Tombstone or nearby on the ridge. Don't know if they are close up enough to get much detail but I'll look for them tonight.

"mini-me.... you complete me..."

Protection Rangers to the rescue!

My money is on a takeover of Canada....

I can't believe people still will leave a wallet in the car.

Climbed Dome via the Dome Glacier route and Sinister via the West Ridge. Dead deer with a broken neck at 7400 on Dome Glacier. Probably thought she was a mountain goat Sinister has the original summit register from 1939 that was awesome to thumb through. Descent from Dome to Sinister was straightforward with some monster crevasses easily dodged. One small bridge left to access the Dome-Sinister col and it won't last long. One other party went for the N Face of Sinister but took a long time accessing the lower face due to crevasses. They eventually bailed about half way up the face late in the day. Bachelor Creek approach was as advertised.

Sadly, it hasn't affected your posting skills.

Yeah, it's him alright.

A tru breath of fresh air.

Something like that would look awesome mounted on the handelbars of a road bike.
