You are getting the hang of writing these reports - Kristine better be careful lest you usurp her writing talents!

Keep us posted on Rainier. As I recall, she was with you when I met you on Quandry last year, right?

Jay - yep, Rainier was with us last year on the WW when we met you. She'll be just fine I truly believe. She's already back to her normal self of tennis balls and hiking. Hope you are well, bud.

Dillon, absolutely a treat to meet and get out with you. Let's do it again!

Jason, you the man! More to come, buddy.

Michael, happy to hear my photos were convincing. You should get in the Gores at some point.

Deluge is a magical place

Although it may not be the most remote area of the Gores, I have very fond memmories of that area (spent a night in that cabin during a 100 year wind storm, shit you not. constantly awoken with 1-2” of snow on me). Anways sorry to talk about me...thanks for the write up man!

Asgard ridge eh, I recall looking over there and thinking sweet, now I can put a name to it.

Solid crew, solid work, more good times in the Gores

Did Monster slow you down? He has an unfortunate affinity towards Chanel handbags and microspikes

Matt - good times man. Glad you had a first Gore experience.

Abe - I love your old Deluge cabin camping story. Very cool. Good for the soul. Yes, Monster absolutely slowed us down...slowest dude ever. Even slower scrambler. Jeesh. Never hiking with him again

Good to meet a few folks and hike with a few elder friends. Thanks for waiting for me - probably would have had to turn back if Dillon's bum ankle didn't keep you guys in sight. A good recon opportunity of Asgard too.

Best of luck with Rainier and The Big V!

Definitely a good day and good Asgard recon. Thanks for the well wishes.
