Stomp, Stomp, Stomp. I was trying to keep some blood
in my feet while belaying. What a cold day. WINDY.
Our coats were coverend in slush. It was incredible!
Kudos to Patagonia for making Capilene!!
Polyester underwear is one of mankind's greatest inventions; I remember when (1970s) the best thing to combat sweat while hiking was a net T-shirt made of cotton. It hurts just to think of it. Equipment has improved greatly since then, thanks to companies like Kelty, Sierra Designs, The North Face, and Patagonia. Your pose in the cold, snowy landscape demonstrates a sense of dedication beyond my capability. On belay!
