Way to go Marc!

I'll often stop to eat after hiking and probably spend 4 or 5 nights a year in a hotel in the area. I often sleep in the back of my truck but if I'm hiking with my brother or in the area with my wife they require a bit more comfort.:rolleyes:

Caffine! Not! One of the things I did before going to Rainier was to cut all caffine out of my diet for about 2 weeks before the climb. If you are on the mountain for a few days and don't get your normal caffine fix you can get headaches from the caffine withdrawal. This headache could be...

I hiked the Hancocks last Tuesday wearing my Tubbs Snowshoes for most of the hike except for the climb up North Hancock. It was easier to climb with crampons. I know what you mean about a narrow trail. I often feel like the outside of my snowshoes is breaking trail!

Thanks! I first joined VFTT for the trail information and to learn about hiking. It has lead to many new and wonderful friends and many great experiences. I've dragged my non-hiking wife and some non-VFTT friends out on hikes with me and they are amazed that I always seem to run into someone...

Followed the Lonesome Lake, F'n Jimmy and Kinsman Ridge trails. Light snow (2-3 inches) covered the trails and it was snowing lightly for most of the day. No views at all. It was like hiking inside a cotton ball. Bare booted to the Hut and then put on crampons (G10's) which stayed on for the...

I've been happy with my Petzl M10's for vertical ice climbing. If I am climbing a gully I may opt for my Grivel G12's if there aren't long steep pitches of ice. G10's are for hiking.

I'd have to agree with Pocohontas. The easy hike to the trestle at the amphitheater of Frankenstein Cliff and the view of the ice falls with many climbers attracts lots of people, not just climbers. More ice climbs and falls as you keep walking along the snow covered tracks.

I bet it was a nice day and you just wanted to keep hiking. That's why you left it up there in the first place!:D

Congratulations on being a 46'r. Nice video.

Yogi, I'm glad you had the chance to climb Carrauntoohil. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity back in 2004. It's a really fun hike/climb up the "Devil's Ladder". It was one of the highlights of my trip to Ireland!

I've been using Lightroom for almost 3 years now. I just upgraded to LR3. Occasionally I will us PS Elements but not very often.

Court and Jeff, Way to kick some W-G butt! The view from above the knee crack down into the Black Dike really grabs your attention:eek: as you swing out over the void! Nice report.

Congratulations to Sabrina and Michael J.:) May you have many many happy years!

Between the Wilderness Trail and the turn-off to the Lincoln Brook trail there is a large beaver pond/swamp. The trail has been rerouted slightly to the east of this for a short way and was no problem to get around. My brother and I did this part last weekend on our Owl's Head hike. I can't...

I noticed that VFTT sticker in the urinal this past weekend. I was in near perfect shape when I saw it and tried to aim as to not hit it.:D

The new bunkhouse at Chimney Pond is really nice, especially in the winter with the woodstove blazing! This time of year I would grab a shelter at CP as well if available. Have fun!

Maybe there should be a gathering on the summit of Bond. MarcHowes and UFC would have to be on the attendence list!:p

I like photo #3, but the best one is the you like the most.
