Aaron had been talking about The Crack on Tweto all season. On March 29th (just a few weeks before his death) Aaron, Ryan and I decided to give it a shot. However after skinning to the base of Tweto we realized that The Crack, North Face and saddle with Arkansas were too wind loaded to safely climb or ski. So after skiing some low angle pitches in the gulch, we called it a day and vowed to come back later in the season. Unfortunately this trip would not happen.

In honor of Aaron... Jesse, Nick and I returned on May 16th to ski The Crack. We were greated with stable spring conditions and had a great day sharing memories of Aaron and calling his name to the watchful Black Crows that circled above.

On March 28th of 2023 Alex (Junior), Stanley and I returned to the zone to take a look at Buckskin's north face. Unfortunately none of the ski lines on Buckskin were in. Instead, we climbed a north facing couloir on Tweto that deposited us on it's east ridge (class 2). After summitting Tweto, we skied a line on the north face that is just west of the Crack Couloir.
