It was brutal above tree-line today. Started at 0630 in a fog bank with flurries, sun came out on the summit ridge, winds freshening to gale-force before noon. If you've ever been blown-over by a gust, or had to stop hiking to take shelter and put your hands and gloves down your pants to keep from losing fingers to frostbite, you know what it was like. Surprisingly warm and calm in places, only three steps away from a hurricane. Aside from the cold and wind, it was an incredible climb. Saw plenty of snow-devils on the leeward faces.

Trail-finding in the forest was impossible at times, with many sets of tracks heading in all directions. Used GPS a lot to stay on course; said 'to hell with it' on the descent, took direct aim at my car, and bombed downhill in the softening snow. This was probably to blame for the microspikes which disappeared from my left boot. If you happen to find 'em...

Unlike yesterday, views were clear enough to see the Grand Canyon from the top (state high-point #3 for me). Decided to add Agassiz since I was feeling good and it looked much more difficult from the Fremont side. Tough snow climb, but had a nice view of Flag from the top. No summit register to be found, and possibly on Humphreys as well (I didn't feel like digging around). Only met one other intrepid summiter.

Hazy and very windy day, but worth it for the acclimation and quiet forest hiking. The old cabin at the saddle had a tree fall on it over the winter; smashed the roof and cracked the beams, but still intact. There was a large brown and white rat on said beams nursing four pups and keeping an eye on me. Saw what must be an old volcanic dyke at one of the switchbacks. No one home at the lookout tower, where winds were fierce. The only logbook to be found was at the historic rat-cabin. Took a detour across much deadfall to the east shoulder for a wind-less view of Hump during lunch.

Hiked over to Mt. Ian from the saddle. Lots of bear tracks in the snow today.

Tagged both peaks after a nice lunch and a quick browse around Bisbee. Side-hilled Ballard on the way back and lost a hiking pole tip in the snow despite much searching of pole-holes. Lots of large and flowering cholla around, plus my first javelina sighting.

Plain View Peak > Mt. Graham > Hawk Peak on first hike/climb of day. Nice view of observatory, many dead trees.

Second hike of the day after Graham and friends. Took a few minutes to scramble up Eagle Rock on the way up Arcadia.

Miller then Carr on New Years Eve. I was circled repeatedly by a light aircraft in the early AM, then enjoyed the view of the surveillance blimp once out of the canyon. Spooked a roadrunner around 9000ft on Carr. My third P5K in 11 days.
