Little late in kicking off sawtooth season this year due to the epic amounts of snow they received this past winter (some of which is still hanging around!) but... here we are: 2008.

Double bonus for matching shirt and haircut :cool: :cool:

 

Joining us for the kick off was Team Harro... neither of them had climbed on the Elephant's Perch so we thought introductions were appropriate :)

Team Harro opted for the classic Mountaineer's Route (perhaps they will post some pics?) while Brock and I racked up for Splitgerber - March Direct or as we came to know it: Splitter Burger :chebit:

Day 2 saw us on the warpath to Warbonnet Peak... unfortunately for us the warpath is really long hike from the EP

Hey I think that "Dirtbag" t-shirt is made by the same company that tried to sue my shitty little t-shirt business for copyright infringement and is what caused me to permanently remove all items for sale. Your friend should really burn that shirt.

 

Nice TR nonetheless!

The shirt says "Dirtbags" not "Dirtbag" so I doubt it is the same company especially since I bought those (I have one too) from Turn Table Lab in Brooklyn in 2002 or so...

Maybe Layton can stir the shit up and initiate a reverse un-reach around letter from the people who made that shirt first to the people to tried to F* with his little t-shirt enterprise. (IE get these new T-shirt dudes to Fu* with the folks who F*ed with him)

 

John: you got the best trip reports. Gear; Mustache comb! :lmao: Shocker is that Brock has a chin! Those pinnacles look great, how tall are they ?
