Reluctantly pausing for a photo in the chill of the Marler Zone just below the summit of Mt. Marcy. Because Matt Leibsch wanted to know, at 5344 ft Mt. Marcy is the highest peak in New York. The wind was strong enough at the summit to force us to walk crouched so we didn't get blown over and cold enough that we didn't hang around at the top. It did blow the fog away momentarily to give us glimpses of the surrounding ridges and valleys.
