A Breath of Thin Air: July 2014
http://smileysproject.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
A Breath of Thin Air. Wednesday, July 30, 2014. Mt Logan's Hummingbird Ridge. Reiner at 13,000' on the Hummingbird Ridge. The Seward Glacier below. Ever since Janelle and I started. To climb North America’s Fifty Classic Climbs four and a half years ago, we have heard this question countless times from climbers that know the book: “What about Hummingbird Ridge? 8221; To which we reply, “I guess we will cross that bridge when we come to it.”. The entire ridge as seen from the East, from 8,000' to 19,554'.

A Breath of Thin Air: October 2013
http://smileysproject.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
A Breath of Thin Air. Monday, October 14, 2013. 14,500 feet on Mt. Fairweather. In June we headed for Mt. Fairweather (15,325'), located a mere 13 miles from the Pacific coast in SE Alaska. The Carpe Ridge is the "classic" route on its South Face. This snow, ice, and rock route ascends a little under 11,000 vertical feet from the glacier camp. It's huge! I would equate it to a remote, steeper, rockier, longer, Liberty Ridge. Mt Fairweather is "A". Forget setting up the basecamp, lets start climbing!
