It's what rocks you....

This is Mt. Erie (somehow I put the pics up in the wrong order--but...) a pure rock outcrop and tree hill. Rated, I think, as a beginner to moderate rock climb. No I did not climb the rocks but came up the road.

Excellent photos, looks like you were up in a plane.

Greetings MB,

I have climbed at Mt. Erie many times, mostly in the early 70’s and just a couple of years ago. It is always sad when someone looses their life climbing, especially at such a young age.

It looks like Tuesday will be my last posting on Sitka Daily Photo. In these questionable economic times I feel very lucky that my business is taking off and growing. But, I know it is not going to grow on its own, so that means I need to put more time into it. Of course that means less time for leisure things like blogging and taking photos.

I’ll keep checking in on your blog from time to time, because I always enjoy your post and photos.

Take care,

It really does look like the view from a plane. That's definitely a place to be extra careful - so sorry about Jon - tragic story.
Beautiful photos though!!!

Looks like quite a climb, and the reminder of what can happen.

I've always enjoyed the view from on top of Mt. Erie. I remember many years ago barbecuing a steak up there as I was waiting for sunset. Glad to hear you used the road :)
