alpinestateofmind > Night's are long in the winter, and cold. This face called the NE Face of Mount Fury has long been on my mind. It is 4500-ft high and was one of the great challenges of my youth. With two good friends we skied the upper portion of this route in very poor late season conditions. It was the scariest descent I ever made.

alpinestateofmind > Camp on a rocky ridge seperating Clark Mountain from the Walrus Glacier. A pinkish haze fills the horizon. The next morning we would debate traversing around Clark Mountain by going right or continuing over the Clark Glacier. We would chose the ladder. It would work out beautifully. You can see Luahna Mountain here.

alpinestateofmind > A burst of powder explodes as Kyle carves a turn off to nicer slopes below. The snow would soon engulf me entirely.
