After more than two months nursing a stress fracture from Bishop, I’m finally getting back into the game. Unfortunately the spring weather in MT has been dashing killing most hopes of climbing. Luckily the Ho’s are a lot more on the ball when it comes to checking and interpreting the weather. After seeing the forecast for last weekend I assumed it was going to be a weekend of spring cleaning. But, I got a call Sunday morning from ’em saying we’re heading out and you should too. I did. And it was a near perfect day. I even managed to run a couple laps pain-free laps on Wave Runner, which is the hardest thing (by far) I’ve climbed since Bishop. Here’s a few photos:

The hike out.
As long as the finger holds up there should be plenty more where that came from. This rain can’t last forever…

Hey–
I noticed that Alex’s website is down, and the last pdf I have to Whiskey is from 2003. Do you happen to have a more current one?
Thanks a ton! If you need topos, I try to keep a bunch myself, so may be able to reciprocate with something useful.
