Full of ice and full of history ...

On a misty morning, with the temperatures dropping rapidly, and the third big thaw in two weeks playing havoc with the ice climbs; it is still worth saying that routes are thin but climbable.

It is also worth saying that this pass on the north side of Pitchoff is rich in history ... from the Underground Railroad, to Timbuktu, to John Brown, and on to rum running in the 20th century.
