| The Garden Wall and its central couloir above Picture Lake on the way to Mountaineer Peak. |
Lo, and in the fifth month,
Ullr looked down upon his sycophants,
and saw that they wept.
 |
| Glide avalanche remnants accumulate below the Garden Wall. |
O, sunburnt children, why do you despair?, he asked.
 |
| Point 8893, Glacier Peaks, and McDonald Peak from Mountaineer Peak. |
With gnashing of teeth they replied:
Ullr, the Death Star hath stolen thy power,
and turned powder to potatoes,
and wetted our skins.
 |
| Mickey Smith near the summit of Point 9066, on the ridge south of Mountaineer Peak. |
 |
| Mickey skis the perfect corn. |
and resolved that he would grant them an artifice of
power to absolve them of their woes.
 |
| Casey Wilcox walks across a frozen lake high in the headwaters of Mission Creek's north fork, after a descent of the east face of Point 8893. Wet slide conditions and poor visibility mandated that we turn around 150' before the summit. |
 |
| The Sonielem Ridge in clouds looms above Lucifer Lake. |
 |
| The west face of North Glacier Peak from near the Mission-Ashley Creek divide. |
Children, said Ullr, take these golden gears and wind them surely.
Set them to chime at 4 and 30, so that you wake before the sun shall rise,
and make haste to those realms of mine own that remain,
a hundred chains above the sea or better. And then be patient,
and wait for the anointed time; not too hard, nor too soft.
And then shall you partake in the harvest of Corn, and the Corn
shall not harvest you.
 |
| Looking at rocks is a nice part of springtime. Mission-Ashley Creek divide. |
 |
| The 4400' southwest face of the Sheepshead above upper Ashley Lake. |
clad in naught but tunic and codpiece.
 |
| Lolo Peak, north summit viewed from the south summit. The Heavenly Twins are visible in every Bitterroot summit photo. |
 |
| Albedo matters. Carlton Lake. |
for he saw that it was good.
 |
| Mormon Peak Road is getting alot of traffic these days. |
