My partner and I tried to emulate Tom's great exploit last weekend, but the wind was so outrageous on Sunday that we abandoned all dreams of attempting the summit. We took a short hike along the ridge to the east of Finger Lake instead. The area is quite beautiful, as Tom says. In case anyone needs more pictures of Middle Pal (and believe me, you can never have too many!), here are some.

(By the way, is the peak I'm guessing to be The Thumb really it? There's another peak directly on the Middle Pal ridge that matches up better with the map, but it doesn't look distinctive enough to be THE thumb.)

Nice views! Sorry you didn't get to do it. I hope to be on the summit soon!
