No worries, Rich. I cleaned it all out a couple years ago. Ask Brian. :oops:

Papillon, I'll teach you to climb this winter, if you wash my bike after a muddy cyclocross race. Maybe some refreshments to. Greg

Sounds good, Greg. But I've gotta warn you that my cleaning skills are quite primitive and border on the non-existent. If I crash at your house, I recommend you find me a nice corner in the garage. If not, your wife might want to lay down some newspaper. :)

Here is a shot of a KevinK sizing up the finish a few weeks ago. He's the only person I've met to date who can climb class 3/4 with a cigarette going.

Ahhhh... more pictures. Too many pictures, so I put them out on Facebook. There are already some really great trip reports for these peaks on this site and SummitPost, too, but maybe some of these photos will give folks a better idea of what to expect of the route.

Here are the Apostles yesterday, from Turner Peak, on Cottonwood Pass. L-R, West Apostle, Ice Mountain, and North Apostle. Huron is on the right. I never realized how distinctive these peaks are. Or that Huron looks like Quandary from this angle.
