Easter is usually the first Sunday after the first full moon
(Paschal Moon or Ecclesiastical Full Moon) after the Spring(Vernal) Equinox
If theological history interests you look up Computus
IN THE LOT AT THE FEE STATION THE CLIMBING ADVENTURE BEGINSHad a wonderful time with my sister Holly and two of her three kids my nephew Colin and niece Whitney. We left the parking lot around 2 in the afternoon. The top of Old Rag was still in the clouds but as we journeyed up the switchbacks the clouds lifted. The rain had limited the number of visitors but by the time we reached the first false summits the views were wonderful. It was their first time up Old Rag and so a very special circuit for me. Other than giving advice to a pair of backpackers, a pair of rockclimbers, a large backpacking group, and picking up a little bit of litter the patrol duties were light.
