nice pics frodo, I have been warned about that last climb to the top. I am a little woozy w/ the heights thing though. i have climbed the knife edge and cathedral trails in katahdin and i did the precipice and beehive in acadia np, but that looks worse. do you have any thoughts on that? has anyone fallen off of there? I just read high exposure by david breashears, and he talked about climbing half dome. it would be cool to see people climbing that sucker. i also got a campsite at wawona for one night, so i can check out the mariposa grove and the other sights in the southern part of the park. It looks like most of my plans are made for my trip now, so i can relax this weekend and do a little biking in acadia. if anyone is going to acadia this summer, do a little bike on the carriage paths- lots of beautiful lakes, wateralls, bridges, and mountains... well that's enough scattered thoughts.
