"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

Summit via West Face/West RidgeSnow a plenty. Determined to see the summit without snowshoes on the approach. At times would have stretches of 20-30 yards of stepping into post holes, many past the knees, one fun-filled step at a time. But the top is glorious. I've loved this neck of the woods all my life, having learned to ski at neighboring Sugar Bowl.

Don DonThe summit area is pretty complex, and it took me a while to find the actual summit.

Fun day out on the PCTClimbed 5 peaks this day. Ran across a survey marker at the top and did not disturb it, so that I would not get the $50 fine in 1939 dollars!

All summer!I love Donner Summit and was fortunate to be able to climb there about once a week all summer. Even did the highway 40 "climb" via road bike. Awesome descent!
