"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

Only Q and RSeems that age is restricting me to 2 peaks a day, but what beautiful peaks! R seemed easy after Q but we had to wait for the next day to do S and T. Could not find the register on R . . . wonder if it is still there.

Brush Creek to Upper Slate LakeIt had been YEARS since I visited the Gores,e and I kicked myself in the ass for waiting so long! The views of Peak Q from R are just amazing - stout beast of a mountain! Dropped back down the valley and returned to camp for lather/rinse/repeat the next day! With Candace, Joe & John.

With J, P and QClimbed up grassy ledges/gullies to the ridge after an ascent of Peak Q. Hoped to go to S but the route wasn't looking good and didn't have time to drop to where I was supposed to, so instead climbed back over R and retreated to camp before the clouds got any smart ideas.

NW Face as part of Q->R->S->TDescended east side of Peak Q to 12,300 feet and climbed NW face of Peak R. Nice peak. Went on to S and T.

Route Climbed: Northwest Face Date Climbed: July of 2005I was close to calling it a day after the ascent up Peak Q kicked my ass. I made a last second decision to climb Peak R with Colonelpyat and man...I'm glad I did. I enjoyed Peak R more than Q, plus the views up there are probably the best I have seen from a Gore Peak. The route is solid and fun as well. The summit log had been up there since 2002 and was left by Jennifer and Gerry Roach. It had 5 signatures-Jennifer and Gerry, Dan B, Dave C, Teresa G. I know it gets climbed by a few others, for whatever reason they didn't sign the register.
