This week the man was on top of Mt. Marcy, as sported by our very own instructors, Josh Martin and Paul Cunningham from Northern Cairn!

WMA has these new t-shirts that are given out to everybody on a WMA course (with the exception of a WFA course), featuring a da Vinci-inspired design of the Vitruvian Man. We are asking students, instructors, and like-minded individuals to send in their pictures to webmaster@wildmed.com. We’d like to know where the picture was shot, and we will feature your post right here on our blog! Don’t forget to send us a story to attach to your submission!

Check back to see where the man has been traveling to!
