Every year hikers fly the American flag from each of the 4000 foot peaks in New Hampshire in remembrance of the victims of the theocratic attacks of September 2001. This year I again raised the flag on Middle Tripyramid. I didn't have a crew this year, but I drafted hikers who happened to be at the summit to help set up and take down the flag. The day after I climbed the Kinsman Range from the west with Whichway. I'd been on the Kinsmen many times before, but before this trip always from the east.
For longer reports see Rocks on Top: Middle Tripyramid, and the Kinsmen.
