The garden was full, so we walked up from Keene Valley |
crossing to the south side trail |
some rain and drizzle, but we break near a nice swimming hole |
ascending bennies brook |
lots of rock |
losing a layer |
lots to go |
18 inch slip |
have climbed pretty far |
into the mist |
near the top |
no view from Lower Wolfjaw |
descending |
no view from Upper Wolfjaw |
a helpful ladder |
hints of views on Armstrong; we lunch in blasting cold wind |
lovely trail to Gothics |
views of lots of mountains from Gothic |
heading along Gothics |
fine views |
the real descent begins |
end of the cable |
more careful descent |
onto views from the orebed slide |
they follow me |
cool rock |
they discover the stairs |
slime |
onto views from the saddleback slide |
soon enough |
enjoying the swimming hole |
over rift brook and back to the car |
the next day brings views near Cascade |
lookout rock near Porter |
the Bennies Brook slide |
massive white dog on Cascade |
views from Porter |
we take a break from the wind on Cascade |
and soon enough time to head down |
