  3. - Gideon, glad you like the pics, someday you'll get up there and take in some kick ass views!

    - Anonymous, the jacket I wear is Columbia with a fleece that zips into the inside. It has always kept me warm, dry, and protected from the wind in all conditions I have come across so far. My only complaint is the hood gets blown back in high winds, but I have found a way to make sure it stays on my head.

  5. Glad you liked the pictures!

    I wore snowshoes the whole way but I could have wore microspikes on Sawyer River Road and for the first 1.7 miles to the Carrigain Notch trail junction. However after this last snow storm it'll be all snowshoes!
