Day 179

Wow, it's been a while. Here's a summary of the last 86 days:

Tory came to visit NYC.

Climbed NE#38 Black Dome and it's neighbor Blackhead

Attempted Kaaterskill High Peak but lost the trail.

Spent the night at Carter Notch Hut in New Hampshire

Celebrated 1 year with Tory in Florida

Had many long-distance dates, including this one--dinner out of surprise ingredients.

Survived my first Hoboken flood.

Hiked the oldest section of the AT to Bear Mtn and West Mtn

Climbed 2 more Catskill 35ers--Balsam Lake and Graham Mountains

Spent some quality time in Central Park

Climbed Doubletop Mountain, highest trailless peak in the Catskills

Started climbing again, including bouldering in Central Park with Ace.

Whoa, okay. So what else. We've pretty much bagged going to the Grand, and will likely go to Colorado instead. Speaking of Colorado, I'll be there next weekend to see my baby and attempt the highest peak in the state, Mount Elbert. Oh, and some kind of training for work too. Then seeing her again when she comes to Maryland. Shaping up to be a good May.
