"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

Route Climbed: Mouse Traverse Date Climbed: August 11, 2004On August 11, Three Blind Mice became a nice reprieve from two alpine routes we had done the previous two days from the Fryatt Hut. This was a leisurely scramble for the three members of my group. The awesome treat for us this day was that a good sized billy mountain goat had peered down at us from a relatively weak cornice. It was hard to believe he was that extended on the cornice until we saw his hoof prints leading out to the edge. While on Middle Mouse, we leisurely observed him traversing the south face of Mickey Mouse, causing some rock fall as he went. (let goats go first!). Cheers.
