History

Bear Creek Spire from Dade Lake

On the approach from Dade Lake to the North Arete of Bear Creek Spire
Bear Creek Spire was named in 1908 by Joseph LeConte, James Hutchinson and Duncan McDuffie, because of its position at the head of the Hilgard Branch of Bear Creek.[3]
Climbing
The first ascent of Bear Creek Spire was a solo climb by Hermann Ulrichs in 1923 up its west face.[3][4] Norman Clyde established the Northeast Face route in October 1931 and a route up the Northeast Buttress in May 1932.[3]

gollark: I don't think you need to compile the kernel for serial IO.
gollark: Broadly speaking, you have a parser which turns the text into abstract syntax trees representing the code (`1 + 1` goes to `Operator("+", 1, 1)` or something, for example), then you generate structures for all the various functions and whatever and check things for validity, then turn those into output code.
gollark: Compilers are generally quite complex. I forgot what the best resources for them were.
gollark: Or database or something, yes.
