From the JD Notch it is getting icy up both sides, barebootable but Yaks, stabilizers, or insteps might be a good idea.
Being a member of the He Man Mt. Climbing Club*, I did not don irons until I slipped a few times on the downs.
Beautiful, sunny day.



*Membership requirements; Don't use map or compass until lost, Don't use a light until so far off trail you can't find it with a camera flash in dark, Don't use feet traction stuff until fallen and bruised , Don't use safety glassed until both eyes are jabbed and so forth.

Today was a good day for it. Were there many people on the little Twin? It's a great party mountain, particularly on days like this.

P.S. Can I get in on that club?

I can't really qualify for the light thing, My BD Zenix has a little flashing LED which makes it easy to find in a dark pack.

However, perhaps if I jab both eyes until I am blind, then it wouldn't matter but then again, you would have no need for a headlamp or light then either!

Hi Jim,

Nice TR. I think I am a partial member already.

Hey Jim, I knew that was you as soon as I saw your avatar (that familiar pose that everyone should recognize). Nice TR, and not only am I already a member, but since it took me years to figure all that stuff out, I think I'm co- president.

So is it OK to lie to Judy when I pull out the M and C ?? "No sweetie I know exactly where we are" Or when she turns around to see what "that noise was" and I'm wiping snow and mud off my butt, I'll just say I was glissading. As far the "dark" thing goes, that's why she carries a whip
