Mark-give in to the steep side...what are those crampons for anyway? There must be a geocache someplace near Pinkham, if not I think you need to start one. Joe Cote may also be joining us for the hike up to the ravine. Off chance you might know him through the climbing community.

ithoughti - OWCH! I was going to complain about my little soft tissue injury on my right knee, but after seeing that I think I'll keep my little wimpers to myself.
