btw...those poles are gonna get you caught dude.

Thank you, Ya the foot thing, no wheel chair just use the poles but my arm pits are starting to get calloused.

Nope! I have the sc things facing in against my ribs!

oh yeah, and that guy Onion, is that the thru-hikers equivalent of a fanny pack ?

You asked "what's all this red stuff on the snow?" Turns out it's algae. Although Red Snow was also a British thermonuclear bomb.

algae huh? what a weird place to grow... I thought it was blood when I first saw it but it was too evenly spread around for that to make sense. Then I thought it was like fire retardant from a plane but hadn't heard of any fires lately so that didn't make sense. Then I thought it was red spray paint from some urban tagger gone mad, but that made no sense cuz there were no words. Then I thought I was just imagining it, took off my shades and it was still there, that made sense. pretty confusing... Then I got to the top of Baldy and only then did everything make sense!
