hiking Mount Eisenhower in winter

Mary Jane hikes across Mount Eisenhower's summit cone, clad against the cold wind, in January 2006. I like this surreal landscape that looks more like a moon walk than a hike in New Hampshire's Presidential mountains. It was a crystal-clear day, such that Mount Monroe seems a nearby rock pile, instead of its distant mountain self (two miles away). Mount Washington rises to the left (outside the frame), with Boott Spur to the right. Between the two, on the far side, is Tuckerman Ravine.
