[ivan]

any one know any one who had a real bad winter day on index this past year? rapping off the n peak y-day i found a medium red marmot shell and a small orange feathered friends down parka below the slab w/ the 2-pin anchor. i can't imagine dropping these woulda been so happy

 

anyhow, i'm a gaint and have no need for such small (slightly mildewed) garments - anyone want em?

Parka sounds a bit warm for summer, but there was a helicopter rescue off that bitch a month or two ago. Seems I remember some gear getting left behind.

Although minor in comparison to our safety, the other casualty of this trip was my pack which was accidentally dropped as it was being hoisted into the helicopter. I don't know if it fell to the bottom of the route or is hung up on brush somewhere on the face. It is a black and blue Cold Cold World pack and contains my rack, camera, and several jackets.
