Kathy,

Voted 10/10

what do you mean by "before my fall?"
Are you okay?

With help from others I managed to recover my gear that went flying everywhere and hiked unassisted back down to Paradise. Quite a scare but I loved my hike! The bruises and cuts are another story! Thanks for asking! Guess I'll write this all up for a trip report.

	Voted 10/10	Thank God you're okay, aside from the cuts and bruises. You need to take it easy for a while and work on a trip report. Looking forward to reading the details.

Crazy how different Rainier looks in the later summer after all of the melting than in the early summer.
When I was there we could barely see the Gib. Rock and now you can see every rock imaginable...

Kathy, what a bummer! I hope your recovery is going well and that you'll come back and visit us in the PNW.

	Hasn't voted	Thanks for the well wishes! I'm walking in a boot which is fine and so much better than a cast/crutches. Rainier was definitely a little pain!

	Hasn't voted	Well, the upside of a bum ankle is having time to organize your trip pics. Thanks for looking at my pic! Kathy
