So, I know that when I dont post anything on my blog(s), the world as we know it stands still. And I must admit, that it has been a ridiculously long time since I last posted, but life sometimes gets ridiculous too. So here are the pics that I alluded would be coming in my last post. This is from an AWESOME trip with some good buddies. It was so awesome that I was inspired to create a third blog (http://cloudsplitters.blogspot.com/)to track the 4 guys from this trip and our goal to become 46ers. This was an amazing trip that brought me to 16 out of the 46. We did 4 peaks (all in the top ten) in 2 1/2 days. Without further babbling...

Me on top on Mt Haystack (3rd highest).

Haystack again

Some rock scramblin'

On top of Basin Mt (9th highest)

One of a couple ladders to assist in some steep sections

Late night munchies. Actually what happened was when we got to our lean to around 12 midnight, we just wanted to crash, so we stuffed all our food into our bear bin; it didnt fit and some pop tarts got crushed. This is us cleaning up the mess.
