The Brothers, September 2003

This is one chossy mountain, and I have better memories of kick-stepping up this thing in spring snow than the gravel-on-rock shooting gallery it turns into in the fall. Here is Tesha in the upper gulley. That grimace reflects the fact that she just dodged a big rock that came screaming by her head. This was one of those wear your helmut reminders, even on a day scramble.

David waving the red flag. I think this means we are supposed to charge after him.

He-man Russell, after sprinting to the top. Tesha ponders terrestial life below.

Alpenglow on the upper reaches as we start to head into the forest below. I have always loved the dark, mossy Valley of the Silent Men. It is where Hobbits live.
