Brian and I climbed Teewinot July 5th. Still tons of snow. He was reluctant because we didn't leave until 8am, there is still TONS of snow (which meant crampons and ice axes) but just enough snow melt (that meant lots of transitions and changing gear) to make it slow. We went any way and it was awesome. I have to admit, being prego I was a little more nervous. Don't know why. It was pretty airy at the top-- the exposure pretty insane on the steep snow. I didn't let myself think about slipping 2000ft to my death. I just kept following up and then down again.
The summit was one of the coolest I have ever been on. . . and possibly the smallest. Very cool.
