Ok, to push SkiSickness off the top of this blog, I bring you:
Mr Rossit on the importance of bringing warm clothing when climbing the higher peaks here, even in mid-summer:
Don't be fooled by the hot sun and by the girls wearing shorts, whom you might see at the lower elevations. Bring the warming memory of these things with you as you struggle upward through the cold snow toward the icy summit. Remember that to you, "mountain fastness" means the upper reaches of Glacier Peak, not the speed with which you may woo the girls you saw wearing shorts after you return from the summit.
Why don't they make guidebooks like this anymore?

We should make our own, with lots of racy content.
Thanks, it's a big relief to get away from the exposure.
