Checking out my new mountaineering system - 120 cm skis, 70 cm skins, and my double boots - I skied the long route to the crag and then self-belayed a few laps on a heavily snowed up easy route called "Buried Treasure." The temperatures were moderate, however a light snow was falling, over a few inches that we received last night, so it was truly winter conditions. This should help me get ready for the traverse pitch on the Black Dike which Larry and I hope to do this winter, as well as get me started on training for some grim nordwands that I still aspire to do.
