Pyramid & Castle peaks
The Boys from Cali – the Sierra Slayers (More catching up- this from April 28th and 29th) All Chris Davenport said was that two of his friends, who get after it around Tahoe and the Sierras, were coming to town and looking to ski, and that they were going to call Neal and me.

Neal skis the June snow. Route: North Face Team: Ted, Neal Beidleman Our day on South Maroon last week was a great day by all accounts.
