Hey Ben ( I guess that is your name grin)

Thanks for sharing! I love seeing all the content you post. Love to see you hard East-siders tackle these big peaks.

Split was my first 14er, and in some very abstract ways, my 100+ mile approach from Yosemite on the JMT still strikes me as easier than the climbers who slog up the Red Lake drainage. Both Birch and Tinemaha are on my list, as maddening as those endless front range slopes are there's something kind of pure about starting at the base of a mountain at the start of an ascent.

Thank you again.
