Another hour long walk up Whiteface snow slopes, with some laps climbing up and down, on a steeper section. Given my thought of doing a big climb to celebrate my 75th birthday - 15 months from now - I realize I need to begin to polish my dormant climbing skills. Crampons are working well on my old skimo race boots. I think I’ll need to renew my membership in the High Peaks Cyclery climbing gym, and try to do some occasional bouldering.
