You know, all you people that depart Thumb Rock 4 hours before the crack of dawn mostly miss seeing the wonderful 5000 feet of exposure above the Carbon. Accidentally over sleep! Then be the last party to leave Thumb Rock at 7 AM or so, and see what a fantastic climb the ridge is during the daylight. grin.gif

 

The shrud looks quite a bit different than last year.

First LR climb I dropped a powerbar into the inky abyss during a rest atop the black pyramid. Couldn't believe the view from there during an afternoon ascent on the next trip. You do miss ALOT between the Thumb and the scrund in the dark.
