1st of 2 Winners for #womenexplorersbrooksrangephotocontest @tina_in_pdx ! Here is her comment on the photo: "Round trip on skis from the parking lot up 5,600ft to the crater rim and back again! We got socked in at the top (which is where I'm at in the pic), but otherwise a bluebird day! It was my most tiring climb of the mountain ever though. I think my glitter green tutu, Honey Stinger energy bars, and @reedmaniac's ridiculous antics are the only things that kept me from turning back early (which, today, I considered many, many times). Feeling very content, and very sore :)" ________________________________ Innovative, top-quality equipment for hikers, backpackers, mountain guides & skiers.

Our conversations are too often filled with the things we hate..the mindless jobs, the difficult people. Hate is tedious, overdone. Tell me instead of the things that make you ache and shimmer bone-deep. . . . . . . . . . . There is so much honey in this world. Stop dropping flies in it. Let it fill your heart and pour from your lips ☀☀☀
