Key word being *unnecessary* transitions I wanted to wear shorts, then soft shell pants, then shorts, then pants, then... All of which required de-cramponing then re-accessorizing. Totally unnecessary except to sun tan, so I was lucky to be climbing with a patient partner.

Thanks for the boot pack Dave! We saw your track coming down from Boston and it was handy to pick up as the snow got slushy. Looked like you dropped straight down from Horseshoe though, or did we miss your tracks coming back up Sahale? Jefetronic gets generous climbing partner points for putting up with the number of times I felt a need to undergo full on layer changes and unnecessary transitions. Fortunately the views of surrounding peaks were worthwhile, but props nonetheless!

Hope you guys connected with your buddy at the top! Snapped a few pictures of you guys before we lost visual (and a blurry one on the way down). You can grab them here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0ByyGqH9Ubq5faVdfWEJwUkhTcmM&usp=sharing
