    Sweet. What's the route? Pingora, right? My knowledge of the Winds is very thin.

    It's one of my lifelong dreams to do some real climbing there someday. I would settle for just some scrambling for sure though. Such beautiful rock. Great perspective in those shots.

    Bumping this fine TR in hopes of finding someone to climb Wolfs Head with me in a couple weeks. I can lead it all but wouldn't mind swapping leads or going with someone comfortable with simulclimbing.
