oh my god...now THAT is a knife edge!

I have always wanted to see that!

Haha nicely said! I guess if it was easy to get on that ridge then it would be even more crowded right?

Ha, thank you! I don't know how I managed to never find that.

My girlfriend recently expressed an interest in hiking her first 4000 footer. The weekend forecast called for warm temps, low wind and blue skies so I took her on the Franconia Ridge Loop to climb Lincoln and Lafayette for a perfect start to the Spring hiking season. I got caught in bad...
