Back to the scene of the crime, I felt a lot different this time. Our goal is to hang out at Paradise and practice a few alpine and mountaineering basic skills.

Chris, Larissa, Dave and I arrived with the good weather, blue sky and warm sun. We covered the snow pit analysis, self arrest, traverse steps, and rope in as a team.
