Mike climbing Jay |

reaching great views |

including whiteface |

reaching the ridge is slippery |

so we put on snowshoes for traction |

beginning along the ridge |

lovely views |

the wind picks up |

heading to the knob |

we pose |

grab some food |

look back at our tracks |

watch the sun and clouds |

and ravens play |

and back down along the ridge |

losing layers the next morning |

reaching Marcy dam |

snacking on goldfish |

stream hopping |

reaching very icy trail |

but enough rocky trail the snowshoes are mixed |

besnowed trees |

reaching indian falls |

climbing onward |

finally a view of marcy |

add layers |

add layers |

soon above treeline |

and careful climbing |

feeling the breeze |

lots more to climb |

climbing |

onto the summit |

sun fights the clouds |

blasted by wind on the summit |

a cozy sheltered spot |

we pose |

and grab a bite to eat |

between cloud layers |

almost stumbed off the edge |

regaining composure |

back along the summit |

fine sunny views |

probably lens flare |

steep descent |

now gentler |

into the trees |

still descending |

lovely trees |

careful descent |

back to indian falls |

and icy trails |
