Rod - Thanks for the kind words, I think I learn something new about the mountains every time I head out. Luckily, I do rock climb a bit, so my back/arms are a little stronger than they would be otherwise. It was definitely scary, there really wasn't anything to get a foot on (and I tried) for three to four axe placements. My boots edge well, but everything below me was just super slopey and snow/ice covered.
Atari - That wasn't me, I only ride down the tram
That trip up snow creek was a beast too, and had its own share of bad decisions. Dodging a wet slide, free climbing the wrong bypass on the chockstone, etc etc.
Steve - That's beautiful country up there, if I didn't live here, I'd be in the PNW. The terrain was tough, but a couple nuts/pitons and a short section of rope would have made it a lot easier. Perhaps I'll toss those in the pack next time.
