We decided to go do Spying and Flying and Roshambo. Did we get an alpine start? I'll let you guess. The approach is flat, but the trail was icy, there was some post holing and it took us 2.5 hours to reach the climb. By that time, it was past noon, and instead of spending time on Spying and Flying, I decided to launch up Roshambo which looked great. The ice was pretty tricky for the first half, aerated and dry, so I had to do a lot of cleaning. Lots of fun though, and I reached the top of the ice from where I belayed Karéup. Would have been nice if it was a bit longer, considering our lengthy approach. In the meantime, the other party came and started on the WI 3 Spying and Flying pitch... we decided not to bother with that one, and again cut our losses. The hike out was a slog, no more needs to be said. At least we didn't run into the cougar whose tracks we saw in the morning - how's that for something positive? And the pillar was nice. Of course, we looked forward to the "soup of the day".
