Buttermilk Falls in late season '06

Just a shot that my buddy Miguel took of me leading one of Buttermilk's lower pitches. I'm pretty sure this was the last ascent of the season(3-26) as the climb was gone within a few days of our ascent. This was actually the only day that I was lucky enough to climb the final pitch of the route. The pitches were mostly 4- to 4 conditions. It was dripping on us and often fairly sun-bleached. The section shown here was unusually incredible ice for the day. The photo was cropped to remove the date from his camera.
