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.

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.
