"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."

Flying W - Rightside CouloirExcellent day up in the high country to welcome in spring. Solid little M2, Steep Snow climb. Realistically there's 2 crux pitches that are hard to protect, both followed by moderate to steep snow. The route itself is straightforward and fun!

Flying W - Climbers LeftNice short climb on fairly steep snow and rock band of loose decomposing red granite. We had fair snow conditions in the couloir, but the approach was a rough few hundred yards. Some postholing thrown in on the descent too. Very windy, I suspect 15-25 mph sustained, gusts to maybe 50-60. Good climbing,short approach, good day!
