Ouch! Could have been worse, I guess. Glad you're okay.

The climbers practice climbing them in winter with their harnesses and ropes, for they are so big. I especially like the photo of lost lake. I remember it from other outings and I like the contrast with the lone hiker walking away from the huge icicle.. I am thinking about how dangerous walking through that ice that fell - sorta tricky there. Glad you all made it safely. Have a wonderful day.

I'm pretty sure it never existed, but we had some great trips.<br />My dad was a logger, and I still have loggers and foresters in my family. I have always understood that forests are a crop to be harvested and replanted.
