To Summit All Up

“If you don't scale the mountain, you can't view the plain”
-Chinese Proverb


Could not have asked for a better day to summit Mt Washington in winter. Clear skies, great guide fresh snow, relatively warm, high visibility, low wind, no people; today it was great. I’m so pooped now :)

“Life is brought down to the basics: if you are warm, regular, healthy, not thirsty or hungry, then you are not on a mountain… . Climbing at altitude is like hitting your head against a brick wall – it’s great when you stop.”
