so i got my crampons. (i should probably figure out how to use ‘em at some point this winter)
i got a pack, which i think is probably too small (@ 2000 cubic inches), so i’ll probably have to return it. depends how much crap i need to stuff in there.
and after reading all the trip reports and accident reports (thanks jesse), i’m convinced i’m bringing an ice axe. time to go buy more gear.
(this whole trip is really just a way for me to legitimise buying more gear really)

God I love that word. Crampons. Is there any word more perfect? It would, of course, be more suitable for an item found in a women’s restroom, like a wonder-tampon that also eliminates cramps, but I’m not picky. I just like the fact that the word exists, and I’ll giggle every time I hear it. That’s good enough for me.
