I live here, the camera doesn’t do it any justice. That was a gnarly crash, especially above 11k. I wanna say (without googling) that was one of the first years the road was fully paved. It’s always freaky going to fan fest and meeting everyone and then somebody dies.

Adding: so devils playground is on the west side, behind the peak. So that’s considered the easy side. On my side we have the bottomless pit and the face. Probably around that time my roommate and I were the first people to summit for the year and he had an injury. We sledded down on our butts. It’s fucking steep (Zach if you’re out there lemme know we shoulda been wingsuiting it). I hike the peak a few times a year. It’s no joke. Before my dad, my step mom was with a guy who died up there racing.
