Nice Thread, Jim Donini!
For what it's worth, jesus spent very little time in the synagouges (church buildings of that time.) He was usually on the hillsides, mountain tops or sailing across Galilee. Cheers, lynnie

Wow, you got me on that one, donini. I don't recognize anything from Patagonia. Pakistan maybe?

In the early 1980's drought winters, I did my best to bag some winter ascents of Cascade summits.
Mostly, the mountain Gods caught me in the act, & blew my sorry ass off of their summits.
Lower Cooper Spur in January early 1980's, when there should have been 10' of snow. The high winds & snow hit that night.
And the North Face of Hood & Cooper Spur from the same location.
However, in another early January, early 1980's venture into the Cascades, we apparently were found worthy by the Gods that rule Dragontail & Colchuck & bagged the Northeast Face of Colchuck in perfect conditions.
Along the way, I finally realized an alpine fantasy & enjoyed that Godly creation, spindrift, much like our departed hero Doug Tomkins enjoyed in this 1970's Chouinard poster. After a couple seconds of enjoyment, while my soul sang "HALLALEUAS," I noticed the spindrift was rapidly building up between me and the snow on a vertical bulge, where I was desperately trying to sink my axe into solid snow above. The Mountains Gods soon winched me up, & all was well.
Nice views from there of alpenglow on those other blessed peaks, all with their own mountain gods, with frozen Colchuck Lake at lower right.
Pretty nice view off SW to Rainier from up there.

It's Patagonia yanqui....off of the Marconi Glacier. Two FA's I did with Greg Crouch. The central tower is "Torrecito Tito Carassco" and on the right is the north pillar of Cerro Pollone that we named " A Fine Piece."

Ok thanks, donini. I think I remember a thread by Crouch over your route "A Fine Piece". Looking at Rolo's guide it seems there was very little action in the area before 2010, but it's been getting more attention the past few years.
