Winter Ascent Attempt
Wondering what to do with our not so white winter while our Squaw/Alpine passes collect dust on the counter, Nick and I realized it was the perfect opportunity for a (not so) winter ascent. Hunting through guidebooks for something that would be just long enough to require a high bivy (because I like to sleep a lot) and just hard enough to require a rope (so the pictures would look more hardcore), I stumbled upon Four Gables northwest ridge, grade V class 5. After scouring the internet and other guide books and coming up empty handed, we struck out on our adventure with nothing but a map and our noses for direction.
