Climbing Arapahoe Peak Skywalker

South Arapahoe Peak
via the Skywalker couloir

We chose the steepest of the three exits from the couloir (Princess Leia). No George Lucas camera tricks here...just steep snow.
























Here's Princess Leia in case you've forgotten what a babe she is:
Han "we don't need a rope" Solo.





Skywalker, looking wistfully toward the Degobah system.














Marc walking the final ridge to the South Arapahoe summit. North Arapahoe peak can be seen to the right.
That cloud in the back looks a little like Jaba, don't you think?


Unfortunately you can't read it but, this plate on the summit gives distances and sightlines to dozens of notable peaks in the area.

Manual Labor on Memorial Day

Mom and Dad came to Boulder for a Memorial Day "vacation".

This isn't your typical Bed and Breakfast. While Dad and Chris were hard at work on the addition framing...



...Mom and Christy painted the nursery.










Hornsby was exhausted just watching us work.
