On Monday and Tuesday I was supposed to climb the North Ridge of Mt. Stuart. This climb has been on my mind for nearly 8 years. Everything was working out great! amazing weather, great temps... The only problem seemed to be my climbing partner! We ended up hiking 6 hours to the Stuart Glacier when he decided that we have gone far enough. We turned around and hiked 6 hours back to the car. Pretty lame.
People need to realize their limits! Just cause you have talked yourself into believing that you can do something doesn't mean that you are actually capable of doing it. I guess I am glad that we turned around at the glacier instead of on the actual ridge. That could of been a mess!

Mt. Stuart will have to wait till next year I guess.
