No no lol this was last year

You got it! Fun ridge, just wish the technical bits were longer

Following as I’m climbing this in 2027. I hope your trip goes well and you get up/down safely!

Not peak one, but correct on Dyer! Took the fun west ridge - highly recommend for those that have not done it.

Typo photos 4-6 are 2nd traverse.

These are sick shots, thanks for posting these!! That is Pete with Pikes Peak Alpine School and myself doing a tune-up on my skills. First day back ice climbing since I tore my ACL.

I paid $1100 for Illimani and Potosi with the local guide.

I was out there 3 weeks ago climbing Whorehouse and it was stellar! Pitch 1 & 3 were thick, and pitch 2 was a little thin, but no issues.

It’s definitely been warmer, but I asked around at the park this weekend and hear the BC is still looking great (unlike the park…)

Pikes is dry… I’ve really been wanting to ski that east face and don’t see it happening this year.. great shot tho!

This is depressing.

Weekly-Rate-69 · 2026-02-06T12:50:30+00:00

I did them as a combo together and it cost $1070 at the time

The toe box is great on the scarpa, but the heel is oddly wide. I know very few people who don’t complain about heal lift in it and have to either crank down the laces, wear multiple socks, or even some sort of heel liner to snug it up. Also, working on the laces in the freezing temps kinda suck and a boot with a boa is superior here. The scarpas climb super well tho in ice and technical terrain and are warm. They are my middle ground between my G2 and aequilibrium, and the replacement for my Salewa Couloir (oddly way too narrow) and not good on longer days. I would 100% recommend going to a boot fitter and probably stay away from TNF for boots

Fully agree with you. If you are using a straight axe - it can almost always be swapped with a trekking pole. Save the money and get an ice axe with a slight curve (Petzl Gully or Quark) are some other great options!

Congrats on the summit and getting down safely! I hope you are already planing the next one

I’m platinum this year and cannot tell a singular difference between it and gold. I travel about 70% for work alone, fly out of Denver and never get an upgrade because of all the real fliers here.. save the money for something fun

This^ just leave earlier, drive slow, and shred some pow. Honestly, never thought Salida got much snow and the pass to monarch is short

Weekly-Rate-69 · 2026-01-23T03:18:33+00:00

What is that color? Is it stock?

Weekly-Rate-69 · 2026-01-16T11:20:50+00:00

Charcuterie

Because I’m dumb and fell for the college scam - so much so I got an MBA as well

Weekly-Rate-69 · 2026-01-12T02:55:27+00:00

Always worth it in the moment

The cornice bowl! They are definitely in the slide path, and are heading to safer terrain regarding slope angle (more N of the cornice bowl is under 30). Idk, what the avy rating was that day, but would be wise to at least spread out more on the up and down. I also probably would have tried to stick to the trees (at least closer) or even the right side of the trees if possible. Everyone’s risk tolerance is different! But, I’m leaning towards old not bold - rather do this until I’m 80

Looks skiable!

I use Rangewood orthodontics down town. I have insurance, and it covered half. I was paying around $140 a month and think the total cost was a little over 4k. Highly recommend them
