Nice photos, Matt.
A number of relatively famous people (and also me) have made the same mistake - leaving the snowshoes behind because the snow was firm or crusty low down, and then finding it much softer higher up.
Example: Wallowing on Loomis after leaving snowshoes lower down. At this point, there was no longer a crust to support us, and we were postholing up to our waists in spots. Some of the more prepared people in our group had the foresight to bring along snowshoes, while others (I won't name any names) were forced to boot it after leaving their snowshoes behind.

Hope you enjoy them!

Question for anyone with some photography knowledge...
I was comparing my photos from this TR with Josh's and noticed how much darker mine are. Now I am someone who likes photos to appear darker when displayed on the computer screen but does anyone think these are too dark? I was trying to bring out the eerie feeling of the day and darkened them slightly.
If I were to print them on photo paper I'd lighten them up.
Just wondering...
Thanks for any input.

It's a matter of personal preference really.
I like to edit mine to make them as close as possible to what my eyes saw before I took the photo.

Yes, I do too but sometimes I may get a little carried away with decreasing the brightness...

Today I had an amazing trip in the mountains. I'll probably have the story tomorrow. Adventure is never leaving my grasps these days.

Why are you always so horrendously ill prepared?
Eating snow is counter intuitive by the way.

I was in a super hurry, when there is no time for drinking, you gotta do what you gotta do. I was pretty well prepared, I just need to get better gear.
