 The view of Haystack and Panther gorge |
 We regather at four corners |
 and the climb of Marcy begins |
 View of the drifts on Skylight |
 Pondering the ascent |
 Cloud-tree-snow |
 Final ascent |
 Nate on the summit |
 Zach in front of a view |
 View of Algonquin range and Colden |
 Reading the plaque |
 We gather on the summit |
 Last moment on the summit |
 The descent begins |
 We come across a group helping Ron, who presumably broke his ankle well above treeline |
 They fashioned a sled and his descent begins |
 Great views |
 Even if there were a few fluries |
 Treeline is a welcome relief from the wind and cold and hopefully the dog knows Ron isn't a tree |
 Standing in a wet hole to keep Ron out |
 A nice warm Gatorade bottle |
 Preparing to cross a bridge |
 What is the weight limit? |
 Ron is pleased to be on the other side |
 Ron makes it to Marcy Dam at nightfall and in an hour is taken out by Rangers via snowmobile |
 We hike out in darkness and remove snowshoes for the first time in 15 hours |
