As I reported elsewhere, there was an unbelievably beautiful track up to beyond UBSL (by a team that dragged big sleds up to just before the E-lledges). I think they were camped on the plateau above UBSL (yellow tent).

One party, camped at LBSL, left a lot of food out for the crows/ravens/marmots/squirells, and it was a mess in the afternoon.



This was a great way to start out the new year!

Awwwww...Thanks Richard.....Happy New Year to you too.....

I thought you might get a kick out of seeing your name at the top of the register for '09. (It also gave me another excuse for a corny TR title.)
