Gunna take a hell of a lot to get Ice9 in, Hamik, but this one would do in a pinch! :-) Thanks, the knee is doing great: aching a bit from Lower Lamarck Lake, but nothing some Vitamin I can cure (and a few brews at 0200!!)...
Ok, when you cancelled our wimpy(?) little Emerson hike for Kevin's offer of Ice 9...I was glad you took it! But holy shit Girl, I had no idea!!!! Yes, another EPIC trip for Laura is in the books. Great job GF!!!

That smile says it all."The next morning, with huge bags under my eyes, hugging a steaming mug of coffee, I was smiling."
After that one you deserved the smile, maybe not the bags under your eyes Moosie!
Really good trip. And a great and very well written TR.
I am EVER so glad you made it OK after the adventures on the ascent.
