It's on here, I remember reading it and I didn't read VFTT before the "crash" thing. I guess this means I have to spend some time digging..I should of thought of that before I left work this morning. :) I looked at your post quick but they only go back 500. Apparently you use to post a ton...

If I can find that thread, hows boutsin you send me a copy?:cool: As far as I know, although some have been attempted and cetianly talked about no one has done any of the major mountain chains in the NorthEast in that type of style in one push. Where are these blogger guys getting their...

It's funny how many shine a negative view on it no matter what. If you announce your intentions you are a showoff looking for attention; if you announce it after you were just trying to save face incase of failure. I believe there is a saying that applies here, "You're F'ed if you do and F'ed...

Ascents and following trails > easier and much easier, rock exposed trails and flowing ice descents > brutal on long days and at times down right dangerous. The best conditions may have been similiar to what the boys had two years ago, stable weather pattern, broken yet not rock hardened snow...

The first thread was an updated in progress thread: HERE

I'm a little confused, maybe because of being in NY but Otters are quite common. Don't get thrown by the "River" part it is just a separation from Sea otters.

I think it is important that we get more info. Do you or others have pictures of this event..or better yet video? This will only be used to help build better bridges in the future..not for pointing and laughing..

So now you're trying to bring me into this?

I came in from the S/SW up one of those gullies, not recalling which right now and came to what was the summit (by my scouting around) from that direction. Did you climb from the pond itself? You make it sound like you climbed the small bump to the North before traveling the ridge up to the...

A porky will do that and rabbits when the snow cover gets tough.

I think you saw your reflection in a summit pool! Ok, maybe on the other hand you saw a skink?

I think he was more referring to the fact that you posted it in the New England section, Kevin.

Halloween comes around and your first two thoughts are: Guess I better check my list to see which Grid/monthly peaks I need for November! Then, sweet I'll have to go to the stores tomorrow to stock up on the leftover Halloween candy at super discount for the upcoming cold weather hiking...

How is it that that applies to the grid?

Funny and serious at the same time. Jim, is "tough" at times so many are going to get a maniacal little laugh out of this but the guy has also saved many peoples lives or got them out of the worst situations they have ever been in. Your head ranger not on duty with an already short staff at what...

I think the problem would be that for about 3/4 the way up you'd be fine..then you would fall apart in the final quarter to the summit.

What would of been your guess on the number of accidents there in general? If you hadn't just read in the thread about someone stating how a motorcycle went down would you have known? I don't think it is as much about the danger for hikers but the people driving around the turn instead who might...

Absolutely, having the trail cross right at the turn is just asking for trouble. I'd say many people driving through for the first time have trouble just making it around safely, obviously more so going down hill. It only is easy for people walking straight across and finding the spot on the...

As long as you have the proper gear..that's all that matters. Just a touch over 7 hours car to car.:cool: Steve, remember when we were following that good open route across the middle bump and that crazy kid came out of nowhere wearing a 1984 US Olympic jacket and started running down hill in...

I've climbed up or down the slide 3 times. I enjoy it but I'm in no rush to go back. With all the new amazing slides it doesn't show up anywhere on the priority list. Is your '87 map the McMartin map? My original time in there I got "lost" one of the few times ever following the directions to a...
