I love this time of year for several reasons…the quality of light, the colder temperatures – which transform water in wonderful ways, the stillness during a snowstorm, the animals descending from the high country – gracing the valley and the hotter hot springs.

Another early mentor of mine, actually my first climbing mentor, was Kevin Pusey. KP took me climbing at Hoback Shield for the first time and into GTNP for a tour to the Meadows in Garnite Canyon. I remember being terrified by the exposure as I skied on skinny telemark skis with oversized boots. It is here that I learned to use an ice axe and crampons!
Thanks KP!!!
