Danced on the jettys of Brant Rock as a kid. Developed a safety balance. Did 30 of 4000 footers in White Mountains.
Ran down many of them with a heavy pack as we overnighted. Knees tell the story today.
Did Orizaba in Mexico. Antigua and Fuego in Guatemala. Snowed in on top of Antigua in 1978. Wild lightning surrounded by thunderhead.
Hoped to make it to Aconagua in Peru. Ran out of road in my '65 Volvo Wagon.
With my Maine friend from OOB.
