Taking a break on the summit.  Normally this wouldn't have been a difficult hike but the weather and the slippery slopes made for a long, tiring, St. Pat's Day.  The beer we brought up never made it out of our packs.

Descending the summit.

Trevor's method of descent. . .slip and slide.  The slopes were so slick that we decided to slide down the mountain.  Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!

1.5 to 2 hours from the summit.

Getting closer as the weather slowly deteriorates over the summit.

Victory!  A few quick pictures from the summit and we left.  I think this was a record for the least amount of time I had ever spent on a summit.

This is suede.  We met him at the base of the Quandary.  He stayed with us until about 1/2 way up the mountain and then we lost him. . .or should I say, he lost us.  We were going too slow.  I can only imagine how many times Suede has climbed that mountain.
