Sarah, ...just add to the web and place in this thread....I don't want to miss it! (and dig deep)

Dow,

No way! I don't want these ancient pics buried and lost!

I've set up an open-post album to compile some of these photos.

The above is the summit of the Grand Teton in 1996 - I'm the 22 year old with the crooked smile and crooked helmet in the top right. Tee hee hee.

Here I am as a teenager, on the "chimney" of Chimney Mountain in the Adirondacks.
The ridiculous mop of hair, and the 5lb boots are interesting memories. Note there are trees as high as the 40' pinnacle.

Chimney is, to my knowledge, the only mountain the Adirondacks, with significant prominence, that requires a class 4 climb for the true summit.

I look like a gay Eskimo.

You must be very very old.
