Mental Blocks

Some people may think that the two of us had a mental block when we decided to drive up to the daks when snow was forcasted for lake placid(we also left at 1am without having slept that night :p). Managed to get in 2 pitches before it started snowing hard enough to make the thought of trying to negotiate a small bit of 5.7X trad unappealing enough to suggest we take advantage of the fixed anchor to retreat. The snow made everything very beautiful..and slippery. When this picture was taken i hadnt slept in about 26 hrs.....boy was the drive home fun. ps. as this is a pic of me i obviously didnt take it.
