Mike and I summit Mt Rose on Thursday. Unlike last time the weather had turned cold and windy. Happily, it was clear and bright. notice the sky at 10,000 feet! It took me a dozen times to get the camera's timer just right for this photo!
Perhaps it was a colder day at the summit for my hiking buddy than it was for me!
I rested out of the wind for 45 minutes before descending from the summit. There is a natural bowl there in which I am reclining.
Notice the whistle around my neck. It is for signaling and for scaring away bears. Once I was lost as a Boy Scout, the other boys found me by blowing their whistles as they traveled through the woods looking for me. A whistle can be heard over a quarter of a mile - the human voice over much less!
