Sometimes the sunrises here are so incredibly amazing that it will make grown, manly men weep . . . .

Conditions on 8 June 08. Looks like we'll be waiting for The Diamond to warm up for another couple weeks....

The Keyhole.

Exposure much?

Approaching Chasm Lake.

"The Big Picture."<br>
<br>
This is actually 1/2 the size of the original scan of an old 6 X 7 Provia slide of mine.<br>
<br>
It should still be plenty large enough to trace every route, find every hold/ledge on the face.<br>
<br>
Enjoy

One more reason why sunrises on Long's Peak never fail to amaze.

Wishing I was climbing the Diamond but knowing how miserable I'd probably be if I was actually up there.
