One of Bill's fellow hikers posted a picture of him (Pi) descending Mahoosuc Arm:





His stories about climbing up and down steep and rocky grades were impressive even before I saw this picture.

what are those nifty things attached to his arms?

Those would be hiking poles. I can almost remember the brand, but not quite. At one point one broke and he mailed it to them and they rebuilt it for him.

Awesome. They look very useful!

They're 'Leki's. Also good are Comperdel, but they have no US support. Much cheaper are 'Swiss Gear' (or something like that) available at WalMart (though I rarely go there.)
