Well, what a thread this turned into!!

This seems to be the best way to get to know you all. (besides hanging out in Patagonia) .

09 was a most interesting year. Many changes from being an empty nester to taking a break from my nearly all consuming hi-rise career.

It started with my first trip to Patagonia, and with my Sweety! We had the best time getting to know the Seattle crew and trekking, cragging and I hooked up with the Mad Dog to do El Mocho>

Coming back to an epic ice season in WA , we did many routes and a couple of fa,s along the way.

Skied Red Pk with a great crew of 5

Sneeking on more ice on 3-fingers traverse and an fa in the South Pickets with the amazing Steph.

Discovered short film making when I got my Mac!

Fa with Layton on Dome

2nd ascent-Gunnrunner Traverse

Nw Arayete Shuksan

2nd ascent N Ridge of Buck

Mythic Wall

Back to ice again after moving to Pullman to build a house for my friend-3 fas in Idaho

4 day Hyalite

Now we are in Cody to end a very interesting year to be sure.

 

Enjoyed all of your posts and trs, thanks..

Oh yeah,

 

Took my 13 yr old up Rainier.

"Boring. No cell coverage and the ipod wasn't charged."

 

Soloed a bunch of easy stuff to get my knee back working. It is.

Bought skiis and boots af all kinds. Using them.

 

Beat up the ice this year. Still easy stuff but coming back.

 

Looking forward to a good 2010 with TWO good knees.
