A Seasonal Transition

4 Dec

I’ve finally sorted through the pictures from my Thanksgiving vacation. What strikes me the most about this particular set of images is the wonderfully apparent transitioning of the seasons. Since my previous post on the topic shamefully did not admit the mountains that I climbed, here’s a brief synopsis:

11/21 – North Twin, South Twin, Galehead, and Garfield
11/22 – North and South Hancock
11/23 – Lafayette, Lincoln, Liberty, and Flume
11/24 – Tom, Field, and Willey
11/25 – Zealand, West Bond, Bond, and Bondcliff
11/26 – Pierce, Eisenhower, and Jackson
11/27 – Waumbek
11/28 – Moriah
11/29 – East Osceola, Osceola, and Tecumseh

It certainly was a week of milestones for me. Not only did I reach my halfway point – and my 300th peak! – on the grid, but also ended November with a total of 44 4,000 footers climbed.

Below are a handful of my favorite images. The entire gallery may be viewed here…

"There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure."

"All your life you are told the things you cannot do. All your life they will say you're not good enough or strong enough or talented enough; they will say you're the wrong height or the wrong weight or the wrong type to play this or be this or achieve this. They will tell you no, a thousand times no, until all the no's become meaningless. All your life they will tell you no, quite firmly and very quickly. And you will tell them YES."

"Try the meditation of the trail, just walk along looking at the trail at your feet and don't look about and just fall into a trance as the ground zips by..."

- Jack Kerouac

"The climbing of mountains never ends, because climbing is continuous: you go up and over, and up and over again. This repetition, driven by the need to climb again, is hard to explain. No true mountaineer heads upward in a spirit of conquest — a heavily laden term burdened by implications of against. Rather, the climbing itself is the main event, and the randomness of climbing is part of its attractiveness."

- Tim Muskat, Appalachia (Winter/Spring 2006)
