while you were
sleeping
dreaming
four wheeling
naked
high
& watched over -
the booster club
shuffled
side hilled
clambered
and saw
glacial eruptions frozen
spinal cleavage
& a scratching of the monkeys head
leaving only traces to vanish in the snow

yeah, heavy fast moving sluffs on the steeps. Potentially manageable; Potentially dire consequences... so we backed off and skiied the ridge.
Earlier than usual may have given a window it being another record-breaking-temp day that it was.
Also-no bikes for us water.
Whoa, I don't remember there being a schrund across the ascent ridge of the Pinnacle last year.

Cool, thanks for your reply. In your "side hilled" pic I can see "raised beds" of what looks like thick loose snow on the main N face above and below the large cliff band/dogleg...That would have definitely steered me away!
Been 10 years since I have been there....10 years too many
it was cool running into you guys up there. i'm impressed you made it through that last washout. some of those rocks looked like real diff-hangers.
i almost feel guilty to say that the line rode great at noon the next day...

eh, no guilt, good to see you all--I wanted to stick around and watch you ski it! That's how it goes, experience builds, noon seemed like the perfect time given conditions as they were. And we all benefited from Cody's group road access beta--thanks Cody et al!
It was a fun ski/climb with some great people, good times!
Looked like a Jolly good time! Except for the hanging out with naked Dudes part... :)

As Jerry Seinfeld once said "There's good naked and there's bad naked."
