Subject: RE: this triathlon stuff is hard sometimes!Geez Diane, you need to move to New England! Yeah, I've climbed Washington something like 35 times. And have done all 48 of the 4,000 footers at least 5 times each.
Did the Helon Taylor route too a number of years ago, that Knife Edge is really dramatic! One year on October 12th we did it in reverse, but when we got to the Chimney, the descent from the Knife Edge was glare ice so we had to back track across to the summit and then down via Chimney pond. It was pretty late and we were just leaving the summit of Baxter peak at sunset, and we did the rest of the hike out from Chimney Pond in the dark...what an adventure!
Let me know if you get out this way and plan to do more hikes...it's my other obsession besides triathlons!
