Good Morning,

Shaping up to be another gorgeous day on the mountain. Sunshine goes a long way in energizing the spirit this time of year, and it certainly makes the solar panels happy. We’re still looking at about 1” of snow on the ground, and our early morning temp is nearing the freezing mark.

As promised, more inspiring words from the poetic and talented Ben Spicer. This particular piece certainly speaks to challenges some face while tackling this giant of a mountain. May it serve as motivation for your next adventure.

Mountain
By Benjamin J Spicer

Mountain you have yet to see
The day that you have bested me
I am still a worthy foe
Though breathe comes quick and progress slow

Mountain you may think you've won
Watching this exhausted one
But I will stand upon your head
And you will suffer loss Instead

Mountain you can laugh away
I will conquer you today
And when I rise and suffer through
Tis I who'll smile and laugh at you

Mountain go ahead and vow
That someday you will take me down
This my friend shall never be
You will never vanquish me

Mountain go ahead and glare
I have water yet to spare
For you my Sweet are just a hill
And I am stronger better still
