genepires Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 climbing in shorts and larches! not a common occurance. nice job. Quote
ARob Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 Great pics. I'm pissed that this climb is remaining at the top of my to do list for another year. Nice work catching a last window of weather though. Quote
Terry Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 I think you squeezed the last bit of summer in that's available. Great photos. Thanks, Terry Quote
spotly Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 Very nice. What's the snow like getting to the first pitch this time of year? Quote
bgratias Posted October 7, 2010 Author Posted October 7, 2010 We crossed about 50 feet of really mellow snow. No crampons or ice axe necessary. Quote
Gaucho Argentino Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Great pics capturing the fall colors, and nice climb to put in the "to do" list... Thanks! Quote
