Birdfoot Violet (Viola pedata) is an unusual little violet, both for its dark shade of purple and for its finely divided leaves.<br> <br> It shows up after the Dutchman's Breeches have finished, but before the Columbine have really started. A good place to find it is along the rim of the East Rampart, between Rainy Wednesday Tower and the Leaning Tower Gully.

Best Belay Seat Ever at Devil's Lake.<br> <br> One day (early 80's)we carried a Lazy Boy recliner up to the East Bluffs. I was all for leaving it up there but much to our credit we carried it back down at the end of the day. That's Jeff Kane in the chair.
