These photos are from my Mazamas AR outing for 2010. Participants: Glenn Widener, Kevin Kuo, Lisa Ripps, and Pat Clark. A nicy cozy crew and despite shakey forecasts, a great weekend with a good climb each day. Kevin and I started it off on a high note, arriving late Thursday evening for a fine Friday on Burgundy Spire.

In the evening after Burgundy, we connected at the Lone Fir camp with Lisa Ripps and Pat Clark, who on arrival in the afternoon had done a crazy scramble up from the hairpin turn onto the apron of Early Winters, complete with raps into gullies with waterfalls, heinous rubble scrambping, etc. Too much adventure for me.

On Saturday, Lisa and I did Beckey on Liberty Bell, descending wet and scary gully slabs, while Kevin relaxed and Pat ran back to Seattle for a family reunion. Then we all had a fine relaxed day Sunday going over Kangaroo Pass and doing North Ridge on Kangaroo Temple, as the light showers ended and the sun came out. A gorgeous day on great, fun rock, with the entire trip all to ourselves - it doesn't get much better!

Next year - there's oh so much left to do - South Face of Cutthroat is calling, lots more routes on Liberty Bell group, NW face on Kangaroo Temple, and so much more!
