Kelsey Climbs Old Rag

Kelsey Climbs Old Rag
The forecast said one thing and reality showed a very different face. The day started at 45 degrees and gradually it got colder and windier. It got down into the 20s, it snowed and winds raged to 40 MPH!

Prior to today, only my wonderful mother had ever climbed Old Rag with me. Today that all changed as Kelsey hiked with me to both summits. Old Rag is such a wonderful hike that I’m happy another family member is in on it. Her choice was to climb the front to both peaks and then return down the front: six miles and climbing from 600 ft to 3,300 ft. We did it and it was great fun.

Here are a few pictures we took along the way…

I knew my daughter Kelsey was strong but this really impressed me!

Pleased as punch, I was, to be hiking Old Rag with one of my best friends!
We toasted-in the New Year at the 3,300 foot peak.
