Hey, Adrian! My friend Tish told me about your post. I'm still around, just not on the forums anymore. I am still writing occasionally on my blog, posting photos on Facebook and flickr, and having tons of adventures all year 'round. This summer, I had a lot of fun weekends here, then took a break, of sorts, from the Sierra, and hit the road for three weeks in August.
Sunset from Lake Italy for my birthday trip in June:
Dusy Basin in July:
Olympic National Park, including the Hoh Rain Forest in WA:
The Northern Cascades:
And Glacier National Park:
I tend now to adventure in areas other than the WZ, but had a wonderful reunion with the MR and Main Trail yesterday. Highlights included: hiking under the blood moon up to Lower Boy Scout Lake, breakfast at Clyde Meadow, swimming in Iceberg Lake, and storm clouds to the west with the afternoon sun breaking through.
As I said when I posted the photos: the Sierra may be my heart, but Whitney is my soul.
If people are interested in conditions, the rest of the photos can be viewed here:

Climb Hard. Be Safe.
