 July 06, 2006Back from the MountainsI'm back! I was working all weekend, but Monday I got away to do this:
I climbed 13,640 ft. Point Powell with one of my best friends on Monday. In short: 12 miles, 4,500 vertical feet (3,000 of which were covered with snow), 5 gorgeous lakes, almost a thousand foot coulour at 35 to 45-degrees that puts you right up on the North East Col, and a summit view to humble the proudest of men, a 16-hour day up and down (gasp), and one of the best climbing trips I have ever taken. More details later, as I'm getting taken behind the woodshed at work again today and yesterday, but here's a quick shot from the top:

How beautiful!! To be able to experience that in July (or ever, for that matter) must have been breath-taking (and not just because you were exhausted). You & your partner in crime ROCK! Keep up the adventures. I am glad you made it back safely. :) Post a comment
