re: Prettiest/ Most spectacular thing you have seen in the outdoors.

My car, after climbing the Regular route up the Fairview Dome. Started at sunrise and got back to the rig after dark. I'm not a praying man, but I'm pretty sure I made a few deals with the spaghetti monster to get back alive.

Climbing partner was less than no help so I had to do it by myself, no topo (since he knew the way...pfft). Pretty sure I made about 50 life saving decisions, all but about 6 were luck. Those 6 were the times I waited on the party behind us because there was no way I could make a call.

The descent ropes didn't even make it to the ground. Just rapped off of the end of them. I think I cried when we got to the car, a bloody pulp.
