Snow Creek Trailhead Theft

[Fearful_Leader]

Just a warning to others, my car was broken into on Sat sometime before we got back to the car at 12:30am. Fortunately my rack was still there, but they took my prescription glasses.

 

On the happier side, Prusik South Face was awesome!

On my last trip into the Enchantments, we arrived at the TH to find every single car broken into overnight.

 

On my next previous trip, we went in just after the 9/11 debacle.

 

In neither case did we have the heart to tell folks coming out what we knew. It was best for them just to enjoy the rest of the trip out before finding out about the ugliness of life back in civilization.

Unfortunately my camera also crapped out just before the climb, so I only got a couple of pics of the approach, not really worth posting.

 

The flaring chimney was pretty brutal. Even seconding that pitch, knowing that I had to start facing one way, then turn around didn't help me climb it clean. Or keep me from bashing up my knee and ripping my pants. The last pitch was hella strenuous too, just kept coming at you. Fortunately we got down just before the rain hit.

 

Somehow my partner misread his watch and we thought we were going to make it in time for Gustav's last call until we realized it was getting dark and it was actually 2 hours later. No beer=Epic!
