WOW, his trail map blew me away. That just shatters the record of other monster treks in Alaska.

Camel's Hump. Sorry, Camelback is another mountain. So, what's the best trail for Camel's Hump at night this time of year? Found some great headlamp skate skiing last night. Stowe tomorrow night.

Lost and frozen hiker gets an epic patch in my book. The Trap Dike guys appear to be ****s. Fortunately, my learning experiences have stayed out of the press. :) .

Thanks. I also just found out about Catamount Nordic Ski center which has lighted xc skiing right near where I'll be working. Thanks for the lake idea. I have nordic skates and certainly plan to get out, conditions permitting. I'll check out Camelback for sure. And lots of breweries and...

I'll be working in Burlington quite a bit over the next few months and looking for some night-time adventures. I live in SoVT so don't really know the area well. Skinning and skiing the local resorts is obvious. I'm sure Mansfield and Camelback have some nice night time views of the city and...

Very Cool and inspiring. This melt makes me realize how fleeting the season may be for ski objectives. /

I used to do a lot of work in China and what often happens is that factories will over-produce a run and then sell off the excess through back channels. Or they will run a second shift or assembly line in parallel with cheaper materials. They even order extra packaging so everything looks...

That's horrifying. Is nothing sacred anymore?

Great looking dog/avatar. Reminds me of a few of my favorite hiking companions.

That reminds me of a famous quote which gives indirect credit and appreciation to our northeastern hills; "...the elusive impressions and more subtle romance of our old and quiet hills". Here's the full quote BY Geoffrey Winthrop Young; A mountaineer may be satisfied to nurse his...

Una Dogger reminded me to give a recommendation for another great Alaskan arctic novel. Ordinary Wolves by Seth Kantner. It's a generational book that defines modern Alaska as well as London or Service ever did 100 years ago.

ANWR is a magical (but over-mythologized) place, in my favorite range. Should be a good presentation.

Summer I assume? My suggestion, figure out if you want to try to see a lot of stuff real fast or try to focus in. Also, how much freedom you want to have and how scheduled you want to be. And, how do you want to travel, rafting, kayaking, fishing, hiking, driving. A float trip is a great...

I used two 30-40f bags for years when I was starting out. They were comfortable at zero and less so at -20. But they still worked and it's a great way to save money for other things. Good luck,

Great post, Thanks for sharing.

Hey all, Here's project #2 which I checked out today.

Update; Last week I adjusted the flow and tossed some dollar-store clothes line down the face. Today, we have a bunch of beautiful ice with the thickest daggers where my string was. I have no doubt that we can double the ice coverage up top with more adjustments. The arete on left is new...

Sounds like fun though I won't make it. I'm skiing the moon later in the week.

yes, I'll certainly post some more if I can get something substantial growing.

Yes, thanks a bunch Doug!
