"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

One day ordealA great climb! Approached via Blum creek & started at 3:30 am. Routefinding issues put us on the exposed east face (class 4) and sapped us for an hour, descended trailless forest (up to a B5) from the lakes to about 3,000' where tue trail was rediscovered.
