Gordon Laurens crossing a frozen Chasm Lake. Our route took us up Lamb's Slide (snow gully that's hidden from view behind a rock buttress), across Broadway (snow-covered ledge in the upper center) and up into the Notch Couloir (snow-filled gully leading to the notch in the skyline).

At the top of Palmyra Peak, Telluride. It's an hour-long hike with 1,500' of elevation gain to get to this point, but the reward is a snow-filled couloir that drops straight from the summit.

The Hourglass Ridge on Mt. Alice. There's a bit of third-class scrambling where the ridge narrows in the center of the photo.

Gordon leading up into the Notch Couloir. We were hoping there would be some good ice up here, but all we found was a nasty mix of unconsolidated snow on top of bare rock.

Early in the morning on the way to Mt. Alice. We were expecting a long day – it's a 20-mile round trip and 5,000' of elevation gain from the winter trailhead.

Martin in the Notch Couloir, with Chasm Lake far below. This is the last photo from this trip. We made up to the Notch, but it was getting late, so we skipped the summit and instead dropped down the other side of the Notch and headed back by way of Clark's Arrow and The Loft. We got back to the car at 8:30pm after a 14-hour day.
