Gumby loses his gloves

[CascadeClimber]

As my partner and I skinned the concrete-hard snow in the Commonwealth on March 4, I stopped to take a picture of our objective: Red Mountain. As I start to ski away, he says, "Hey, want your gloves?" I'd dropped them in the process of taking the picture. I picked them up and continued, glad he was behind me to correct may error and save me from losing a $50 pair of gloves.

Unfortunately, he was in the lead when I took a picture just past the flat nob at the base of the west ridge, so when this gumby dropped his gloves again, they stayed there. I realized it about 30 minutes later.

Sooo, if you happen to find a pair of black Marmot X-Trainer gloves, size medium, in the vicinity of the west ridge of Red, I'd be quite happy to get them back.

Red faced with my tail between my legs-

Thanks, Mike. And thanks for the mention on your site, too. I ended up with 54 pitches this year!
