Nope, not a bear. I saw that, which made me think to mention it. It's turning into Noah's Ark up there. Next time you think your partner has dog breath, you better check outside the tent! ;-)

Thanks for the TR. I did the route a week ago, my first time on the mountain. We came down on the 21st. It's amazing how much melting has occured since then, visible in your photos, especially at the toe. We had some spicy duck and run rock fall down there. There was only space for three tents at Thumb Rock, and the upper route wasn't kicked in at all. We saw only periodic faint foot steps up there, so did a bunch of exhausting kicking. The Headwall in your pics looks well packed out by comparison to what we experienced. Awesome route! Nice work. Incidently, we saw what I think was either the biggest coyote I've ever seen, or a wolf (?) running down the Carbon, from Curtis Ridge first thing in the morning. Pretty strange, yet beautiful.
