PHOTO OF THE DAY!

[JasonG]

Nice guys!  I was up on Orcas celebrating my parents 50th anniversary, but I certainly would have liked to be up in the hills!  It has been a very slow fall for me.  Is that a recent photo @kmfoerster?

And yes @Phil K, that WAS a great trip! Here is the South Twin from a slide I took on that trip....

Congrats to them! Nope thats from the NW couloir trip in 2019. Maybe my favorite sunset I've witnessed/captured. Perfect, calm, clear early November evening.

May we get to a La Nina depth at some point in 2022!

I'll let you figure out where I took this one.  It is a good spot to visit in high summer!

visiting for the daily dose, noticed nobody chimed in on this one: is that Klawatti et al. taken from Primus or Tricouni? Nice pic!

OK, back to the task at hand.....skinning up under the North face of Pioneer in the Adamants:

...and, that's the 505 couloir on the left, eh?  This pic brings back fond memories from a stellar week at the Putnam hut...

Yes!  You've skied that @lunger?!! 

[JasonG]

OK @olyclimber, here you go!

Mount Tasman from high on Aoraki.....from the honeymoon that nearly killed both of us as our marriage began!

This thread is awesome.  Thanks JasonG.   And yeah, to hell with instagram.

Everybody needs to get married and travel to New Zealand! My wife on Zurbriggen's Ridge in December of 2002.  We were pretty sure we were going to survive at this point, but there were some tense moments (and tears) on the ice face below. I distinctly remember looking down between my frontpoints, the rope connecting us with nothing in between, and yelling "YOU MUST NOT FALL!!" .....Till death do us part:

[JasonG]

Aoraki is a worthy mountain to throw yourself at.  It will take a bit from you, however:

[JasonG]

I'm going to keep the travel theme going today....Thamserku in the Khumbu:

And back to Tahoma.  The view as @Trent and I came down the DC from a climb of Success Cleaver:

Perhaps you've sampled the "splitter" stone of Custer? If not,  here's a teaser:

Sweet!  Ever since doing Larrabee and American Border Peak last summer, I have been asking myself "where can I find more of that?"

[JasonG]

Sorry folks,  I'm down in Big Bend for the holidays.  Regularly scheduled programming will resume soon!

[JasonG]

Thanks guys for keeping it alive! And wow @lunger.... North Despair? One of the best vantages in an incredibly scenic neighborhood.

Here's to lazy summer days.

Yes, yes indeed @Phil K.  And, to that end, sunrise from West McMillan!
