Nice photos spongebob, thanks for the album. It was great meeting and hiking with you all, all for the first time except Peakbagger. Hope we can rendezvous another time.
One of the things that amazed me was that, even up in the far reaches of Chocorua, they had to chain that cabin down so no one would steal it. And, what a coincidence, to be on a hike with spider solo and stopher who each ordered their facial hair from the same boutique (see the group photo at trails end). How observant of stopher to notice the color coordination of Marilyn's layers ... meanwhile, I was wondering, "how many layers, how many more slides?"
Those of us with 4 point in-step crampons, who didn't bother to put them on, are grateful for the patience and teamwork of everyone else in maneuvering the ice. Special thanks to John who helped me recover my position after having, as is my fashion, wandered off in an unsuccessful search for a route less traveled ... which I found but I also found out why.
Thanks again all, it was an invigorating start to our vacation ... the people and the place.
