 The wind was cold and the sky was cloudy on Sunday afternoon. I had been cooped up in my office for weeks on end and I wasn't going to let a little foul weather get me down. My friend Brad and I both have office jobs and endless hours of balking under fluorescent lights, staring at computer monitors can get to you. 
 All Fall I looked forward to going backpacking over the Thanksgiving holiday. My plans, however, were not set until the evening before I left. First, I wasn't sure until the day before whether a friend (shuttle potential) was going to go. He couldn't make it so I was solo.
 I've wanted to see Skegg Wall for quite some time. Ever since I saw a picture that Tim Brothers took of it, it has been on my list of "must see" places. Of course it's not "easy" to get to Skegg Wall. You either have to park at Birch Knob parking area and hike the PMT north to get to it (which is rough country and not a few miles) or you have to climb the northern terminus of the Pine Mountain Trail to access it.
