A brief report. (A full one later.)
Pip and I climbed Chiefs Head today. We did from Glacier Gorge. Up the Chiefs Head - Pagoda couloir. Steep. Toward the top it was STEEP!!! (I've got the pictures to prove it!) It took me 1 hour and 38 minutes to climb that thing. (Of course Pip could have done it much quicker, but he was patient, because I'm like 104.)
We made the summit.
We opted not to go down the way we came. So we hiked out to Wild Basin TH.
Long day.
Goodnight.

Let's hope you live through the night. 104 is pretty old.

I know the feeling well! Unfortunately, I get it after far less worthy expeditions.
Still, I'll bet it was worth the effort.
