Fantastic time over the weekend with the CMC alpine climbing school folks.
A few beers at Fossil on Friday, dog park and a run up to No Name Creek early Saturday, then I made a solo trip in the van up to Hoosier Pass.
Set off to hike North Star Mountain at 6AM on Sunday. Awesome hike. Not something I'd normally do this time of year, as there was still a lot of snow, but the day went well. Straight there on the way out, then on the way back we took a detour to do some legit (for me) snow climbing. We weren't roped up and there were a few points where a fall would have been fatal, but the snow was solid and I didn't find myself fighting off panic like I often do while rock climbing. Great mountain views and travel all day long. Eight miles on the day. I'll definitely return here in the summer to run/scramble this route.
South Park Saloon for the apres. Love that place.
Some random pics of the day, mostly stolen from some classmates:
