Thanks all.

Bob, work ate me alive for about 10 days after we got back. It never pays to disappear from e-mail for two weeks. The shoulder's good - better than 90% at this point. I'll probably head for the climbing gym in a couple of weeks to test it out.

Tom, Bri was definitely disappointed at the turnaround, but after we had re-crossed the snow chute, which was the only point on the trail that she exhibited real fear, I asked her how she would have liked to cross it later in the day as it was icing up and becoming more dangerous. I think at that point she got the reasoning for the turnaround.
