1987: East Face of South Early Winter Spire in the North Cascades. The splash of white in the upper right corner of the face is a paraglider attached to Jonny Blitz who took an early downwind turn coming off the summit, lost control in the rotor and tumbled down the face like spilt fuck. One of very few trees snagged the glider and kept him from going to the ground. I borrowed a couple of ropes from Steve Swenson who happened to show up on top, rappelled down to Blitz and we jumarred out. We were far more freaked-out than he was.
