Are you just not really just a rock climber,if you do not do winter?;)According to this thread, I am class/grade 3 or 4 climber/hiker.Funny always thought I was in a class of my own! Will you give you props jake d for extolling the greatness of summer rock climbing on a site known for it winter...

Perfectly said! I have been outside[in southern nh]a good amount the last week during the day enjoying my favorite month of the year and its been cold.Lonnie has to be a machine to do what he does.Even with a very warm fire and three sleeping bags[a -20/30/40]for resting,the lure of a warm house...

Skunks are very friendly and into their own thing.I have had skunks around on and off my whole life and the only issue was when my cat years ago took one on,he lost and smelled for days!I have noticed the same behavior at different locations by skunks,they ramble around looking for food and do...

Vfft seems very tame lately on the attack game.This board in the past seems to have been all over the place on the critique thang towards perceived negligent hikers or accident victims.This thread seems to be very supportive of our fellow hikers and climbers in general.I am not quite a climber...

I am officially drooling....Looks great...thanks sar...

Well put bro!Very much a pack mentality here....You see someone jump off the bridge,so you jump too...Article was very scary IMHO.Article went to great lengths to claim how they knew what to do when things got bad.Seems like they are all very good at demonstrating how to do things the wrong...

Very nice to meet Sue and you!Was very cool everyone I saw had snowshoes on.I was postholing with my snowshoes on the way down.Can not imagine people hiking without them this past saturday.Apparently trashing our trails is becoming the norm up north lately.Very nice to meet...

While a fire touching the ground in a alpine zone might damage the ground vegetation,it is very normal in a forest zone in the long term scheme of regeneration.I would assume you mean the rogue camping spot where losers might use one spot over and over to do a illegal fire for whatever...

Maybe the skunk was not "new age"?Skunks are very friendly.This behavior does not sound that strange,skunks used to garbage will approach people without concern.I would not assume they have rabies.Now a raccoon is another story,they can be evil. Stinkyfeet did you run through Jerome?:)

Do not know what is more exciting.The fact that you did all 3 baxter peaks in Jan.!Or that you are drinking a beer from green flash[le freak].Several close friends of mine live in the hills of Noco where green flash is located[vista area].Thanks for posting.How bad was the Abol slide?Any...

Could I ask if any of you had crampons in the trail report cited?Just trying to understand why there was so much slipping on the ammo?It seems like you like to hike in winter by all your reports,therefore are experienced.Just curious....

Bring it on!This summer weather makes it impossible to make a fashion statement!:)

Why I will not pay for "insurance".I would pay for ski insurance though in Vermont to get hot chocolate from that lemonade stand at killington run by sardog if I get "offtrail" by accident or not.{not familiar with any position by jeb on this matter]

Is he doing the ladder thang?hope he gets it! I Believe thats a ladder of sorts on him.Nice suit on him also.

Thanks for that info!With the advent of nooks and etc.,hardback or paperback old books will be hard pressed to find such as that one you quote. Meant to say on original quote Dead and DRy softwood to get a fire going.green pine is no good,you right....

In my pack;mini bic/matches[in plastic bag]/hemp string/firestarter square. None of these mean anything if you do not know what to do with them!I do controlled burns all winter to help with late spring/early summer draught issues on a wooded plot I manage,so am very lucky to be able to practice...

Tr. cond;Smooth packed out highway all the way to the top.Lower section after Tom Wiggins junction until stream crossing[no problem]slighty drifted due to high wind,but easy to follow.Section after stream crossing was like a sled run.Packed out nicely with very pleasant footbed to the...

Great job! That winter 115 is a special one.Not many get that patch....Did you do the normal T or the horns loop?I would guess the T way. are you hoping to finish in Baxter this winter?Keep it up.....sasha

Awesome stuff!Glad you guys were able to do the bushwack from caribou pond up to Spaulding.I had no luck with that last winter.That west side of Spaulding ridge had the most snow last winter I saw anywhere. Sue is great, I have stayed at her locations at least 10 times in the last 2-3 years.Sue...
