Hurricane from Crow Clearing
I had forgotten just how breathtaking its views are; after all the climbing I’ve done, it was nice to scan the peaks from the opposite direction.
Gear:
Pentax K5 IIs
The Brothers
No summit on this hike, but a good day out regardless. It was a good way to spend a few hours.
Giant & Rocky Peak Ridge
Sometimes, you are presented with a day that fills you with awe.
2017 Jeep Cherokee
For something a bit different from my recent activity, here are some lovely photos I took under the Halo.
Slide, Cornell, and Wittenberg Mountains
The Catskills seemed like a good option for distance and vertical, and additionally there are two over-4,000′ peaks which are part of the New England “115” peaks. (The 46 Adirondack peaks are part of that list, too, along with 48 in the White Mountains, 14 peaks in Maine and 5 in Vermont.) I chose to start with Slide Mountain, the highest point in the Catskills and an easy climb.
First Day of Spring in Keene Valley
Winter is over, both meteorologically and officially for the 46ers, so Kathy and I toted around Keene Valley and Keene (New York) enjoying our last day here.
Big Slide Mountain (Winter)
The summit was glorious — brilliant sunshine, no wind, and panoramic views. We stayed a half hour but could have spent all afternoon. What a glorious summit for Kathy’s first winter 46!
Roaring Brook Falls
The forecast on our final day in the Adirondacks called for afternoon thunderstorms. While we had considered Cascade Mountain or even Dial Mountain as nice easy…
Ricketts Glen in Winter
One of my favorite places was even more fascinating than usual after the recent cold snap and snowstorm.
San Francisco at 15mm
I found time in between working and playing for a little ultra-wide 15mm shooting in San Francisco.
