NOLS Pics
I posted these in my personal journal, but I thought I'd post them in a few of my comms so that you all could see what I was doing for so long. I was backpacking/mountaineering in the Wind River Mountains in Wyoming. I think that everyone should try not showering or changing their clothes for a month and carry around an 85 lb pack the whole time. It really changes your perspective on things.
Drying my socks on a high alpine meadow.
Making gingerbread on Knife Point Glacier at dusk.
This was taken at the top of a high saddle on a glacier in between two massive granite spires.
A saddle below Douglas Peak.
This rock face was called "The Fortress." We attempted a multi-pitch climb on it.
Sunset at The Fortress.
On top of Pedistal Peak.
Also on Pedistal with the rest of my rope team.
