I love the cascades and am quite jealous of doug and jessbee who made the move out there... I am too anchored here now with family, work, etc.. but I wish I made the move out there when I was a tad younger... Its something I regret a bit actually. I love seattle, I love the mountains, I love...

Thanks everyone for the kind words and the ton of green squares....not that I care about the greenies, but the comments that came with them were nice I can't thank everyone individually or I would online all night. It was a killer trip. The report was easy to write and gave me something to...

Summit Day After getting to bed at 10pm and waking at midnight – none of us really got much (any?)sleep. We got ready, did a quick eat and drink - and were heading off about 1am or so across the Col de Midi and to the base of the massive 2000 foot face of Mt Blanc de Tacul. The night was...

We continued to climb up zigzagging through/over more crevasses, etc,,and the terrain started to “mellow” a bit as were starting to get high, crevasses less and less, snowcover more and more…and just like that above 10,500 feet or so – the clouds break and we are above most of them. By looking...

Day 2 From the Requin Hut, we had to make our way to the Cosmique Hut which sits just less than 12,000 feet. We rope up right out of the gate as we are getting on a pretty serious glacier right from the hut. The first portion, which is the path of least resistance takes us up the climbers...

Plan: The first day we had to climb the Mer De Glace glacier to the Requin Hut which sits at about 8200 feet. The second day we would climb the Mer De Glace up past an icefall, traverse left to and climb the Glacier Du Geant with another icefall in there somewhere….up and past Mt Blanc Du...

Warning: Long trip report, long winded and lots of adjectives used…but it’s the Alps... Chamonix- Mont Blanc: The place is legendary. The greats of climbing have all come and cut teeth here before moving on to the Himalayas to bang out first ascents. Bonnington, Doug Scott, Messner, Joe...

I am all over the place. might bring family up, might head to the cape, might come up solo if family doesn't want to come up... kind of watching the weather... it doesn't look bad - but the fam doesn't do NH wet camping all that well....

This traverse has one that has alluded me for some time..... I have hiked some in that area, but never the entire traverse... looks like an awesome time... I was hoping to do it this summer or fall... Lat time I was in Killkenny, we saw this...

just havin some fun here - I think we called it - feckin the 48 - I still haven't finished the 48 - maybe this year, then I can be in the kool club...

just home from a trip - was outta of any loop on this until today. Had a freind booking the site for us, but appears that fell through due to the "no sites" BS documented here. any update on what folks are doing? I was going to call today and try my luck, but wanted to get any "info" first...

I decided I am just showing up, having some fun and going where the wind blows me.. see what folks are doing and then deciding whats best. For me, its a party weekend - not so much a hiking weekend. food, beer, chill out, swim, bs with people haven't seen a while. thats just how I am...

pretty darn sweet stuff :D

was a few hours ahead of you on Carter-Moriah trial- damn - would have been cool to finally meet the famous L-Riz. :D

I get along with beavers just fine

impressive!!! - these days a traverse and loop is no big deal anymore it seems as it seems like half this board does them. :D ...................but to bang them out back to back and the loop on the 2nd day, I was impressed to hear it - but I never doubted the dudes invloved. I actually...

Great report chomp - blast of a weekend. felt good to get the big pack on and get a couple nights out. Dave - I agree completely. I had never been on that side of the carter range and it is really cool. This is one of those trips where you are like - why didn't I get here before? darl...
