Shit forgot about your birthday lol! Thanks a lot and happy birthday (late) you too, sorry about that! Actually I didn't do much on my birthday, everybody always forget since it's right after new year's eve. I don't know if you've suffered of the same problem throughout your life but by now I'm used to it
It must have been amazing to be on Eisenhower on that day. I've never hiked in the whites in winter. What about the wind? strong? I'm just coming back from a hike in the ADKs. Beautiful day with beautiful views!
