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!!!

I'm so glad you posted this. I have been trying to get these ideas across. In an attempt to explain why I want to do the things I want to do. As usual, I am meet with the "but what ifs". I am clearly biased, but I feel you hit the proverbial nail on the head. Thank you. As an aside, I finally started getting things in position do start doing what we talked about almost a year ago. If you have a minute I'd like to ask you few things. Shoot me an email if you have time. Glad to see that all seems well. Bob Stephen,
