Explorer, on the road again:

Received my watch today (EMS Took only four days) and I'm very happy with it! I have an AP Bands Light Brown hornback strap on the way also but here are a few pictures for now! High res picture here http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/5056/mg8792.jpg

I went for a climb 3 nights ago and got some great photos. This is the north approach to McHugh Peak above Rabbit lake. This is where I saw the HUGE mama brown bear and the three adolescents that were hanging around my house the last couple days. Once I got up above treeline and the clouds cleared it was spectacular. I got into knee deep snow and I was wearing shorts and low boots and it started getting dark and traction was bad so I had to turn back. In order, these are photos of the lower approach, then a shot of the bare ground, the wind blows so hard it has eroded the rocks into "wave" shapes like water. There's a shot of Ptarmigan Peak, to its right is North Suicide Peak and beneath them in the clouds is Rabbit Lake. It was a glorious climb, not a breath of wind and absolutely silent. What a treat!
