Nice....I prefer the second one as I don't want to carry that drumstick/club with me.
I can see it now... Llama, Buttercup and Barbarian pillage the village.

Is that second hat a "scratch and sniff" model?

Very cool!
I was half expecting to see gold in that abundance of quartz.
Way to style it guys!

I really dug the Big Quartz band.
Oooooh, what a Great name for a Band!
Ladies & Gemmun, I give you the Big Quartz Band!
Give it up, put it up, add it up, Double it up, It all comes back!

Great report.
RE: Clyde Minret. THe red band in your photo has a nice slot behind it in which you can bypass the snow and arrive on the big ledge traversing that side of the mtn. From there you can climb the central chute (easy 5th) or Starr's route (4th)
Happy birthday! No your not officially old, but you're getting there. ;)
