Circue of the Towers, Wind River Range, Aug 2-8 2020
I'm so glad Sue Nelson twisted my arm to make a trip into the Cirque! It had never really been on my radar, and I'm not sure why, with two deservedly 50-Classics climbs. Thanks to the addition of Russell Gray from Colorado, I was able to get one of them: NE Face of Pingora, and Thomas Dodson got the other, East Ridge of Wolf's Head. But just being in the Cirque for 5 days of perfect weather, with a convivial team, including Sue Nelson, Simon Boyd and Roger Wong, was a thoroughly satisfying experience.
