The skiing from the upper camp (7200') was textured mainly with runnels.


Skiing down lower within sight of the lower camp (6000') was pretty good.  I found the crevasses just skier's left of the rocks.


Elisa found a pretty good line further skier's left.


There is still snow up there for August turns.
sweet! hows the traverse across the colmen-demning to the north ridge looking?

I've never gone over there myself but here is what I believe to be our best picture of it from yesterday.  Please ignore the actual subject of the photo.

  Too bad that you were a week late to join us in July,Wickstad. Congrats on the TTPs cover picture.

I'm sure we'll hook up one of these days.  Elisa took the picture.  I told Mitch how proud I was of her.  I tried to do the same for a snowboarder that we met but I chopped off the top of Mt. Baker.
