Says Ramur on them. I only broken one cable. Use them only as approach skis for climbing.

back in the hills for a few days. It has been warm so things are not exactly fat but bridalveil climbed pretty good despit half of it being wet, with big holes in it and looking like it would fall down last night. Some cold over night temps held it together good enough.

2++++ inches of rain hit us pretty hard. Most of the really cool stuff is done for a bit. I skinned and hiked up to Hidden gully but it was too wet , thin and funky to inspire a solo into the unknown. Its a thousand feet of climbing with a pretty involved decent and I could only see the 1st 50 ft... the shrund at the start of Hidden had a very deep crevasse Did get in a nice single pitch on the way out. Terrortory. Wet and funky but fun. The ski out sucked... tons of frozen footsteps and death chunks. Biffed hard...

got down and did the Harney Flow this morning. Or is it the Black Elk Flow now. I’m so confused. It was actually in great shape and Jack cruised it on lead which he had not done before. Hope everyone is having a great Christmas Eve.

git back out for a quick lap on bridalveil in Spearfish Canyon before lunch for jack to get another lead in. Beautiful day as it was foggy until you got into the canyon where it was inverted and beautiful.

Finally escaped the day after a Christmass and headed up to Smuggs for some winter hikeing the long approach behind me finally get on the climb. Conditions very funky after last weeks massive rainstorm. some French Canadians ahead of me. the upper ice wall looked better than it climbed. Funky layers and bare rock slabs at the top... the steep boulder move at the top always gets your attention I found the proper decent chute (not a given with first tracks) Through the rabbit hole half an hour of chopping and I have an exit :) slither out feet first.. this place is super sandbagged! I am rapping down Easy Gully, WI2 the line directly above me on the right is Black Sunshine WI4 good thing I know my way around up here Oh, there they are My new crampons are not new anymore …..

Finally got to rope up yesterday. Isa has been in Cali so I have been stuck winter hikeing. Andy Tuthill gave me a buzz so I met him and Pete at The lake. Single digits but the south end not frozen yet. Pete was hot to lead so Tut and I were just along for the ride. Day at the beach P1 of The Last Gentleman P2 Tut following P2Pete at the belay atop P2 really crappy pin an a not super confidence inspireing belay... Funky ice. sorting out the ropes Pete cruiseing up P3 Tut hikeing P3 The sun started hitting us pretty hard so no picks at the end. just booging and making threads as fast as possible. safely on the ground I took this shot of a team on Bullwinkle Great day that was suddenly brought down with the news that one of our friends and local guides fell and is in critical care :(

Back in Smuggs, Nick? Just saw that news. Very best wishes out.
And a woman hiking below Frankenstein was killed by a falling block of ice...
Be safe, folks. NE wx has not been very confidence-inspiring of late.
