Notes: 3000ft. Slope to 60deg. Very aesthetic route. Terrible rock fall for the lower half of the route. Moved too slowly and topped out on the ridge close to sunset. Had an unplanned bivy while descending the North Ridge. The morning brought blizzard, high wind, and whiteout. Activated SOS. Descended the rest of the North Ridge in the worst conditions I've ever climbed in.

Route Type: Ice
Style: Lead
Pitches: 1
Notes: My hardest ice lead at that time. Maybe still the scariest. Climbed on BD Venom tools with leashes - old skool. My protection reflected how pumped I was getting over the course of the climb. I looked down near the top to see a 20ft runout below me, but I knew that if I stopped to place a screw then I would certainly fall. I pushed through the last moves and pulled to safety, gassed and gasping. Back on the ground, I was feeling pretty pleased with myself. A small crowd gathering around the corner to watch Nick Bullock climb a mind-blowingly challenging mixed route. That was probably the most memorable part of the day.
