Captain Nemo’s friends and relations will not be surprised that Captain Nemo saw his shadow today and scampered right back into his hole to brace for six more weeks of winter. As a side note, I skied a foot of new powder today. Captain Nemo’s prognostication suggests there is more of that to come! Once [...]

Caving and climbing combined
Posted in Black Hills, Climb, Family, trip reports on Nov 6th, 2008
HJ and I did some fun climbing in the Cathedral Spires back in August, including the easy classic, Spire Four. The route is straightforward, and the approach is quicker up the back side. The climber’s trail splits off of the Cathedral Spires trail from Needles Highway, and goes up around the southeast side of the [...]
Ladybug Tower — first Ascent?
Posted in Black Hills, Climb, Family, trip reports on Mar 13th, 2008

Here in Bozeman, Groundhog day is far too important to leave to some loser Groundhog named Punxsutawny Phil from Pennsylvania who not only doesn’t give a shit about skiing, but probably has never skied. So, we take no chances. Every February 2 Captain Nemo comes out of his hole and sees his shadow. Always. Captain [...]

Happy Birthday HJ! We had a good time on the rocks with you last week in the Black Hills. I’m updating some content for you as a birthday present, so I thought I’d add a post to the blog as well. Hope you have a great day and a great evening.
