"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

King's RavineI've climbed the King's Ravine trail multiple times. It's my favorite route in the White Mountains.

King RavineUp King Ravine, which proved to be a really fun trail. We took sometime to play around in the Subway.
First day of July and we still had sleet at the top.

Presidential TraverseSixth, and unfortunately final, peak on a South to North Presidential Traverse, didn't have time to get Madison. Summited around 2:30, tried to make it down Airline and back to the hiker shuttle by 4:20. Needless to say, we didn't make it. Long day.

Traverse from JeffersonDid the long (2.5mi) traverse over from Jefferson in rainy, foggy weather and a visibility of 20 feet or so. We basically followed the route from cairn to cairn until we reached the summit of Adams, which we had all to ourselves. It was a LONG, hard traverse over talus back to Jefferson and down the Caps Ridge!

No Wind!Went up Adams via the Airline Route. Outside of the rime ice on last leg, this was a perfect day and a perfect trip. After Adams I did Madison as well.

Amazing dayGreat hike. A bit windy but not too cold. The clouds rolled in at dusk and mixed with the sunset, giving us a red orange light show.
