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 |
