Voted 10/10 | .....of snow for August! And look at that old pack. Probably a "new" pack in 1965. Good shot! | | Posted Sep 30, 2003 3:16 pm |

Voted 10/10 | Yeah, that is a great shot. Someday, I hope to survive long enough to be able climb mountains for almost 40 years! Pretty amazing. | | Posted Sep 30, 2003 3:37 pm |

Voted 10/10 | Damn, the Grand was probably about a 1000 ft shorter then. Fred, you should see how much it's grown since then. :) | | Posted Sep 30, 2003 8:03 pm |

Voted 10/10 | 1965? That's an incredibly long time ago, Fred. I don't even remember being alive then, although I suppose it could be my memory might be shot. (Isn't that the first to go?) --Vernon | | Posted Jul 23, 2004 1:02 am |
