"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."

First HighpointAlthough this was my first U.S High Point, I have been hiking for quite sometime. The hike is a perfect mix between difficulty and views.

Always FunI have ascended the Ridge Trail many times. On this occasion there was light snow, and some dangerous icy sections.

Stellar weather on Old RagFun hike/climb. We did this as part of a four day backpacking trip and hit the trail early from camp to beat the crowds. Incredible weather for late November. We had a blast.

Ridge Trail is still...One of my all-time favorite routes anywhere! Crowded but immensely entertaining!
