Nice climbing, bro.

Interesting how the snow is all gone but that lake is still frozen.

Climbed up to Mt. Russell ... no gear needed.

No, of course not, since you can shoot Spiderman web from your wrist.

Brings back memories. I once spent time resting on the Russell-Carillon col with a dislocated shoulder, while my fellow climbers raced up Russell. No rescues in those days, it was a three trip from the accident in the Wallace Creek area to Whitney Portal
