"After the first glass, you see things as you wish they were. After the second, you see things as they are not. Finally, you see things as they really are, which is the most horrible thing in the world."

Route Climbed: Signal Ridge Trail Date Climbed: 4 dec 2004Got a late start, so abandoned my idea of completing the loop over desolation trail and carrigain notch trail.
Spent only a minute or two on the summit, and still had to do much of the descent by lamplight. Next time, I'll stay up top to watch the sunset!
Fairly warm day, no wind except on summit. Fantastic bright sunshine, but my camera batteries froze repeatedly. Clouds rolled in after sunset but fortunately it didn't snow.
Saw two people all day, then four campers heading up Sawyer River Road after dark.
