Some belated photos of last season’s final backpacking hike. Veteran’s Day hike up Mt Marcy, the tallest peak in New York state. Above the tree line in an ‘alpine-arctic’ biome, we were not quite correctly equipped, but soldiered through. Mt Marcy in the first picture, us part way up in the second, breakfast in the morning, at the summit at sundown.

It got down to a balmy -14 C (or 7 F if you are old-fashioned) in our 3-season tent. This was before most of the snowfall starts to hit the Adirondacks. We are going out again with proper winter gear in mid-Feb, so I’ll drop some photos.  My grad school roommate (physicist), known as Hammer, is the one taking photos with the glasses and green colors. The North Face wearer with d'artagnan’s facial decoration is Dagger (ex-Marine, photographer in NYC, photoshop expert), and I’m the one with the yellow hat and red beard, known in this group as Anvil (but still Brandoch to all of you). As you can guess, this is also the group that I do all the blacksmithing and bladesmithing when we can. Have I put up knives I’ve made on here? If you do want expensive custom work, let any of us know. Kitchen knives and folders are the specialty around here. And camping knives :)

Don’t fret though, we got a proper tent much better crampons than the trail micros we all had, and some other odds and ends; so, we will be fine next month. :)
