After a full day of ice climbing at the "Junkyards", the trail took us past this beautiful scene (Lady Macdonald on left and Grotto Mountain on right) ....perfect end to a perfect day.

	Hasn't voted	Yes, I've no clue why it's called what it is...someone at one time must have thought they were being witty by giving it that name and now we are all confused forever!

Mountain names - Lady Macdonald on left and Grotto Mountain on right - both scrambles although Lady Mac has interesting exposed ridge.

Hola Sylva

Voted 10/10

Hey Girl, NICE PIC! Is that a picnic table in the background?

	Voted 10/10	Probably a barbeque grill. They do the ice- fishing thing, then just PLOP the fish onto the grill. Salt is added to the fish, and then they just chow down !!!

	Hasn't voted	No, no picnic table anywhere! Because of you and others who shall remain nameless (LARRY) I now have a fear of picnic tables...to add to my fear of spiders and blue bags..thank you :-)

	Voted 10/10	Well I understand the Blue Bag but why is you fraid of spiders? Give us more data, what Trips you have planned and we need more pics. Do you only take one terrific photo per trip now?

(you're welcome) Hope you're keeping well and training hard...cheers!
