The Dribbles and Responsible Family Man

 Went out Saturday to the Dribbles with Emily Reinsel and Casey Smith.  After climbing the Dribbles we thought conditions to be a bit hollow.  The headwall was the hollowest pitch.  Once on the top, we heard a rumble that sounded like a ton of snow was cascading over a cliff.  We were interested to see if Avalanche Gulch ripped.  We crossed Avalanche Gulch, no signs of an avalanche and the snow conditions were decent.  We made our way over to the Responsible.  No signs of an avalanche there either.  We gained access to Responsible from the right side.  While on the ice the temps dropped  the ice became brittle and the spin drifts spun snow in our faces and down our jackets.  When I got to the top my beard was covered in snow and I had an ice cream headache like one wouldn't believe.  We descended down the Responsible drainage in adequate snow conditions.  It is always nice getting back to the car with a cold brew waiting.  

Cheers.
