Nice TR arm, I enjoyed the comedy. Glad I can live vicariously through your suffering though b/c 2+ weeks of hiking through cold rainy days is my nightmare that'll probably always keep this wimp from considering something like the AT (or LT). Ramble on!

Nice, must have been before Popo woke up--that one will be eluding us. And yes, there'll be at least 2 of us going--should be fun!

<bump> 100 views and no hits? Even the Red Sox aren't that bad...

9/29/12 Despite a pretty lousy forecast for the weekend myself and 5 others started out from the Moosilauke Ravine Lodge yesterday on a dreary, rainy Saturday morning. We camped out the night before at Lafayette place so we could finish at the campsite, somewhat of a novelty. It rained all...

I've got a decent chunk of time off work from 12/21 thru at least 1/2 and Pico de Orizaba (Mexico) has been on my to-do list for the better part of a year. Naturally finding partners willing to give up xmas with family has been difficult. Ideally I'd envision flying directly into Puebla, doing...

Congrats on a well executed presi! A lot of people would be reluctant to do their first traverse solo but its bark is really worse than its bite. And as others have said finishing strong is a good indicator of both your fitness and that you were smart about nutrition throughout the day...

congrats on the PR! what a great writeup as well, especially the concluding paragraph. there's something to be said for being in your comfort zone and just having a good time running. it's always my leisurely runs where I start out to just get some miles in that wind up being among the...

Thanks! I'm using a canon elph 500--a decent point and shoot. The panos were stitched; you can see the seams on some photos upon close inspection but it does the job for my purposes. Thanks man, it was a blast. And those beers, maaaan did they hit the spot :) I see you just did a similar...

<continued> Jefferson summit under a full moon on a cool, calm night. sublime. I stashed these in the last water crossing. delicious!

9-1-12 Route: Castle Ravine, Gulfside up to Adams & Madison, down Buttress, up Six Husbands, over Gulfside and down Sphinx, up Great Gulf to Washington, then a ridge walk out and over Jefferson via Castle Ridge where the beers await Last fall I came up with an idea of combining one of my...

thanks! blue skies make for boring photos :) I agree, I love the northerns!

Oh ya, I forgot about that. I'll definitely toss a flag on my pack. I'll try thumbing my way, hopefully it goes better than it did for me yesterday walking with a bike outside of Gorham! But if I'm in a pinch I'll give you a ring, thanks Chip! Pat

After far too long slacking off this year in regards to hiking (an embarrassing 4 daytrips to the whites prior to this trip. Can it really be that low?!) and prime hiking season around the corner a few buddies and I met up for one of my favorites--Huntington Ravine. Of course some had to be...

If this weekend goes well then next weekend (Sept. 8) I'll be in the same spot--begging for a ride. I plan to thumb my way back from Crawford Notch but any chance anyone on here will be driving through the area to help with a car spot?? beers on me! Pat

congrats on your summits! I remember being awed by the fireworm (13th warrior anyone?) on the DC, it's an image that really sticks with you as you can make out the mountain precipitously dropping off below you and just a streaming snake of headlamps coming across Ingraham and up the DC...

<greenie> The GG is very near the top of my list of favorite trails, maybe even #1 but it is definitely a wet one and if memory serves me correct only gets worse after the 6 husbands jct until Spaulding but glad to see you guys had some fun out there nonetheless.

+1 on this, all the little things really add up. I err on the side of doing far too much cardio, I think of marathon training as a way to prep for upcoming climbs but I might be in the minority. I don't want my fitness to EVER be the factor that limits a climb. It sounds like you guys really...

Very nice! That was one of my 2 favorite bushwacks on the nehh--definitely a fun one. Looks like you guys enjoyed it too. Pat

I agree it's tragic but I see few parallels to Everest. Just cuz they were guided? As far as the causes of death during the Everest disaster I don't know of any being caused by an avalanche. The Everest scenario will repeat itself as will this but this strikes me as people heading up in...

nice hike guys! 2 of my favorite trails for sure. and waaay cooler than my huntington/davis path traverse hike we overlapped on for a bit last summer.
