Spirits Willing

The trail is like life. Some days are filled with wonder. Some days are really just a lot of work. “Spirits Willing” was an every day mantra, but mostly firmed up while climbing up Forester Pass, at 13180 feet, the highest pass on the trail. Major contributions by Mm on this one pushing out the chugalong, with just the right tone of rock steady optimism. Click here to listen

Cathedral!

The first demo for our project “Songs for the High Sierra.” Terrain is is about songs of hope and wonder and appreciation.

More background from “Yosemite Place Names”… “The peak was named by the California Geological Survey in 1863. ‘From a high ridge, crossed just before reaching Lake Tenaya, we had a fine view of a very prominent, exceedingly grand landmark through all the region, and to which the name Cathedral Peak has been given… The majesty of its form and its dimensions are such that any work of human hands would sink into insignificance if placed beside it…’ – Josiah Whitney 1863”
