[pct-l] Halfmile is absolutely right!

Wow, Tim, I like the way you write! 

This year we will be out there, but teaching rather than researching. 

It is our job to encourage, inform, and impart to all who may enter those granite cathedrals whatever wisdom may help empower and ensure their safe passage so that they will have enough time therein to absorb all those cathedrals have to preach to their spirits.
 

"Just remember, Be Careful out there!"

  Ned,

  You're much too modest.  Now where would all those 2010 thrus have been if you hadn't spent all those hours precariously perched on the ascent to Forester chopping out the traverse over the chute with your axe?

  Since you gave the 2010 hikers the benefit of your expertise on site I know I can rest comfortably while sleeping in the desert secure in the knowledge that you have preceded us through the Sierra this year, as well; skillfully reducing any impediments on the trail to mere targets of derision which will be scoffed at in passing.  Surely you wouldn't disappoint so many hikers filled with trepidation as they approach the frosty embrace of the mighty Sierra?
