[lemon boy]

sorry, bad play on words. put you down, end your suffering blah blah blah.

Nice TR dave. Been stairing at tenmile peak all winter wondering how it was. Looks like Spring skiing has arrived

hahahahahah, funny how those feelings are universal when a big objective is on the game plan. Now you'll be dealing with someone who is even more obsessed with getting it done. The first time up, it's ok to bail, maybe even the second time. But after a few attempts, obsession takes over. It's a good thing.

I know all about obsessions, especially big, pointy, snow covered ones. We have been down this road before........

Again, nice pics and TR Dave. Getting me stoked for the weekend

Nice work. Always look at the various peaks along the range on the way to the Basin or Vail, or wherever. Good attempt Guys, I'm sure you'll get it done - starting earlier and with the days getting longer, you'll tick it off I'm sure.

I like this composition, texture and light are playing with each other


Trip looked brutal...but worthwhile all the same.

peace,

Inspiring pictures ushering in the start of my favorite season. Beautiful work as always Dave.

Nice, even if you didn't do the traverse. Besides, you probably got the hardest part out of the way. Lotta sexy lines up there off of Peak 1. I was just checking those out last weekend while driving to and from Breck. Have to wait until next year for me

What happened? We had plans to do Crestone this year (if you remember from last year)

Yes, sometimes failure is a good thing. Makes you more focused, hungrier, and committed to a goal.

After getting up on that ridge and getting a good feel for the terrain, I'm confident we'll get the whole traverse next time out. An earlier start, a good pace, and some rock pro will get us through for sure.

Homer, you are more than welcome to come along. I'll give you a heads up next time I plan on going for it.

Thanks to everyone else for the props and support. This season has been a good one, but also one of frustration with many missed opportunities and failed attempts.

Huh? Don't seem to recall that, although I can't even remember what I had for lunch. I think you are mixing me up with someone else, like Mountain Freak or something (although I'll still take you up on the Crestone offer. Love those mountains). Anyway, had my knee scoped a couple weeks ago, so I'm out of action for the time being.

Nice TR guys! Fritz, I know what it's like to have iskibc 20 minutes ahead of you! He's just crazy fast in that difficult boot-packing stuff. It sure does make you humble, but then it makes you just want to get out more and do it again. We are all masochists aren't we

Good job guys, and it's nice that it was all made worth it by some excellent turns!

I love the way your TRs always include amazing sunrises!
