Exploring in Smugglers' Notch


Trying out a different tr format...

Sterling 2/16
In solitary silence I ascend
No longer on the mountain, but in it
Immersed, engulfed
In cliffs and drifts
I climb
Next to my line
The prize
My eye is on
The goods
Game on.

Mansfield 2/17
The old man in the mountain
is serious and slightly grim.
The wind howls and blows snow
into a barely there bootpack.
And we climb.
We beat our feet
into the mountain side.
The mountain hammers back
with rocks that rise
under the snowy surface
unforseen and forboding.
Breathe.
Descend!

If you click on an image, you can see it bigger. The coolest thing was Sunday night when I discovered that I can zoom in and around the photo...so close up and still so clear that I could see my lines from the day before. What a great feature to use for planning future adventures!
