Taken from the top of Conundrum, looking back
down at the Basin. The red arrow shows approximately the spot at
which we stopped to choose our peak.
|
|
When you get all the way up a peak, and then
manage to handle the most dangerous part (down-climbing over boulder
fields, and, in this case, more glissading than I've done since Mt.
Yale), you're pretty emotionally drained. Here, we stopped in the
first green, flat prairie land since the peak climb began. Kenn in
fetal position...
|
|
...and me not talking to anyone. I was
pretty upset that day about not having done Castle-- a petty affair of the
ego that I've since relinquished.
|
|
Back at camp. I took/posted this shot
specifically for Ned's most excellent hair...
|
|
Adam...
|
|
...and me.
|
|
Packing up the next day. As you can see,
Ned has a rather large... *ahem* set of tent poles.
|
|
Loaded up and ready to come back to civilization.
|
|
Back to Aspen; Little Annie's, where we had our
first civilized meal. In return for them serving us
(despite the fact that our table reeked of campfire smoke and BO), we agreed
to give them this little bit of
free publicity.
