Julie, I may see you. I just a few minutes ago agreed to accompany a friend up the Mountaineer's Route on Sunday. We're leaving early afternoon, and will camp somewhere along the way. Will summit probably mid- to late-morning on Monday. We are undecided whether to come down the main trail, or back down the MR.
I'm looking forward to this climb. I haven't been up in almost a week! (Pictures at

It will be my friend's 49th summit. He hopes for his 50th in three weeks when he turns 60. For me, well, I still keep track, but don't talk about the numbers much any more.
