awesome,dont know about messin about on that cornice of ice tho?mad man.what was mulhacen like?

The ice stunt was way out of control and I'll not do it again until I have some real gear and instruction. Mulhacen was high and very dry at the end of Sept, but I saw the most amazing full moon rise and set while trail hiking in the night. They have great trail huts in the Sierra Nevada and generally safe weather most of the year. Excellent views!
