WarmingMakes me warm to snow:) Even though most of the trees seem to be going in the opposite direction:)

Re: Warmingyatsek,
Well, trust me you'd be warm enough after this ascent! It was a lung-burner and a leg-burner. We were all relieved to finally gain that first ridge.

Re: WarmingHaven't forgotten that great feeling yet (first experienced at about 10 years of age:))) Such memories stick in our mind for years, fortunately.

Re: Warmingyatsek,
Yeah, you Polish climbers are famous for your ability to suffer in extremely cold alpine conditions. You could probably do this hike I wrote the trip report on in shorts and a t-shirt. ;)
...then, in traditional Polish climber fashion, stop to have a cigarette in the thin air on the summit. ;)

Re: WarmingSarah,
But I'm just a scrambler hardly ever roping up. And I hate smoke unless of a little fire at a campsite. But my (female) instructor on my climbing course did smoke - each time I reached the summit at last she was smoking; it was a long time ago though, and the reason might've been my being so slow:)

Re: WarmingDoesn't elevation have something to do
with a person's lungs burning up & their legs
going out, or is it just OLD AGE ???
The most smoke I ever got was from fighting a
forest fire back in 1986.

Re: WarmingTo Larry,
That's rather young age actually - if you get older you're either not fast enough to get this pleasant kind of burn-up or you're already burnt-out from work, or both.
