		<description><![CDATA[
Snowpack during winter 2012 is much less than normal, but avalanche danger is as high, or higher than, ever.
Four skiers recently died in avalanches in the Cascades, a ski patroller from Keystone was killed near Wolf Creek Pass,    and another near Telluride. The Colorado Avalanche Information Center  warns of considerable avalanche danger.
This year has seen [...]]]></description>

Dick Dorworth at City of Rocks, 2010
I met Dick Dorworth in the 1970s in the Cirque of the Towers, Wind River Range, Wyoming. I&#8217;d hiked in to the Cirque with big plans and two other girls - Anne Marie Rizzie and Linda Covert. I say &#8220;girls&#8221; intentionally, since we were teens, and college students.

In the past, when speaking on ‘Ethics and Ambition’, I’ve concentrated on ambition — clarifying what ambition entails for climbers, and the potential consequences of ambition. 
 
This year we concentrated on ethics— what are the ethical dilemmas to which ambition drives us?

We were climbing at Maple Canyon, Utah the last week of September, just in time to watch the leaves change.

Bridge crossing soon after junction
I write earlier about our climb of Prusik Peak and about the logistics of getting to Prusik Peak.
Here I&#8217;ll describe the easiest part of out trip: the hike to Colchuck Lake.
We started up the well-maintained trail to Lake Stuart to the junction at 2.5 miles, then turned left at the marked [...]]]></description>

Hiking toward Prusik Pass; Prusik Peak in back
My last post describes our climb of Prusik Peak; here I will describe the logistics of getting in to (and back out from) Prusik Peak.
One can access Prusik Peak from either of two trails: the Snow Lake trail, which gains 4,100 feet in 6.5 miles;  or the Stuart [...]]]></description>

&#8220;            a bold, usually risky undertaking; hazardous action of uncertain outcome.&#8221; 









That&#8217;s my definition of adventure: it involves some risk,
 and success isn&#8217;t guaranteed.  I&#8217;d add that most adventures I&#8217;ve had included a certain amount of discomfort [...]]]></description>
