Walking the Climbing Pack

I went North to visit Bill and have a look at conditions up at the Puritan Creek pillar. It was a pleasant 2 hour approach starting on four wheeler tracks, then a plethora of game trails through the brush.

 

It looked huge and fat from far away, upon closer inspection it was more thin and detached.

 

We decided to let it grow instead of knocking it down on top rope, leading it was a no go. When it comes in it will be a sweet, wicked steep pillar.

 

We drove down to Caribou Creek afterward and hiked up the trail to Kids Corner....it was a no go too, lots of water streaming down, and very little ice around it.
