Greg, OT What a wonderful and harrowing story to tell. How did you extricate from the chute? Off topic or not I would love to hear the finish on this story. Crescent Lake is a spectacular place! Best, Stitch

Lucky You. A truly religius expirience.

Way OT I was able to stop on a nubbin of rock sticking up from the snow. Greg, your story reminds me of one of my own from my careless climbing days of youth. I was about to descend an icy couloir with a friend and had just sat down to attach my crampons. It was late in the day and my partner in his haste decided that it was a waste of time to put on crampons and stepped into the chute. A split second later he was careening toward a violent meeting with the rocks below. As fate would have it, there was one small rock protruding from the ice which he met with some force on his rear end rocketing him upward what seemed like 15 feet. The force of the landing miraculously broke his boots through the surface of the ice and arrested his descent. Who places these angel rocks to rescue reckless climbers? Robert
