Things I learned on my trip

• When winter camping, you spend a lot of alone time in your tent
• You want the rope to make a smiley face between you and your rope partner
• Water does NOT boil quickly
• There are mice on the mountains in the Northern Cascades
• Prussiks are for rescue -- use friction hitch to attach to rope
• I love high altitude outdoor toilets
• Do NOT pee in running water sources
• I don't love wind that blows snow in your face
• Climbing is all about you, not about anyone else.
