Heather's Pictures! I wanted to share these pics also that I just received from Heather - the woman from Montana who was also on our trip. She had a nice camera - as you can see: The Haute Route- http://www.flickr.com/photos/11406702@N05/sets/72157601442395973/ My last day of climbing-...

friday Nice to see many of you on Friday night for a short time. After the Humpbeast disturbance hopefully the 'yakking dog' didn't keep anyone awake :eek: The mini keg was such a great idea Mats! Wished I could have joined you all, but IT IS summer wedding time afterall...

Nice to meet you all! What a great little hike and yummy beer at the top :D Sorry not all came... Kyle, Ich auch! Es war sehr gut mein deutsche zu uebun. Danke!

The downfall of email - difficult to tell intent and mood - my response to you (Doug) was good natured and informational. I was going to post this stuff on Blanc anyway, I just hadn't gotten there yet. Blanc isn't a sore spot with me, I am satisfied with my decision. Agreed that there are so...

Blanc Doug - I'm assuming you mean Mt Blanc. I had added an ascent of Mt Blanc to my trip to do after the Haute Route, but ended up deciding not to do it. Reasons: 1) 6 people died on Blanc within a day of when I was scheduled to climb. This was aweful to hear, but alone would not have...

Nancy's GPS Track Check-out the GPS track at the end of Nancy's pics - it gives a great idea of terrain and our route.

Intro: I have been hoping to do the Haute Route (a high alpine trek from Chamonix, France to Zermatt, Switzerland – there is a lower ‘Walkers’ HR also) for the last 3 years and finally decided that this summer was it. In talking to some hiking buddies, fellow VFTTer, Nancy, said she had been...

Busy week - I spaced this - sorry. Hope you had fun! :)

Wow - this is great! Hey - it is great to have an Upper Valley Beer Night :D I always wanted to attend one, but they are usually far away... I can do next Wed at 7:30pm at the Inn and would be happy to do the pre-brew hike. Need more info on it though - please. Jenn - If you grace us with...

Maybe...let you know tomorrow

same with Roadtripper Gig - didn't climb the big one, but was sure hanging in the area a week ago. Let me know what info you are looking for.

Have a great weekend!! Bubba is right...this is my hiking family :D I would love to join you guys, but don't see an 8 hour trip back and forth happening, since last night at my folks' house (in Spfld, VT) I could still see the snow covered mountains out my window :eek: Have a grrrrreeeaaat...

No Worries No worries LS - I did actually speak with the other person who I was supposed to do the climb with and she said she wasn't concerned about it (me jeopardizing her chances at the top). The guide whom we did the Haute Route with was the same guide to do Blanc, so I had 7 days with...

Back in New England! It is so nice to be back in beautiful Vermont (and Simpson-ville :eek: ) after an amazing trip in France and Switzerland. I will do a separate Haute Route TR once I get pictures back. It was a fantastic 6-day high alpine trek. Call me a chicken if you like..... The...

Nice Going HuiYeng!! Thanks for sharing the TR and pics - you always do such a good job with these. Glad you are home safe :D Who else would protect the plants from the cat!! :eek: :eek: Your positive attitude will make any trip good....

Thanks All!! Jamie - Yes, after a nice spring hike a couple years back you announced that I had just done my first 4K - little did I know... Townie - what is Artex saying...a little translation please! Mohamed - I am actually flying out of Hartford, but I hope you have a fantastic time in...

Wow!! great pics - great TR's!! :D :) So glad you all had an awesome time and everyone arrived home safely! thanks so much for welcoming me to gully climb with the group this past winter/spring - I think it will help a lot on Blanc. I just met up with Jenn to borrow the pack she used out...

48th completed!! :) MadTownie, DRitter, 7Summits, MarcHowe and I met up on Sat. morning for the hike up Tecumseh via the Mt Tecumseh Trail off of Tripoli Road – beautiful, fun trail!! The difference with this hike was my four-legged companions. My parents’ Goldens were not joining me this...

Okay, I have put this off for almost 8 months due to my dog Abby getting hurt and trying to coordinate schedules. I know many will be doing the Presi Traverse, etc., but I would be excited to have anyone join me for this final peak. I WILL BE BRINGING AT LEAST 2 DOGS :) If you would like to...

Nice TR! Lovely pics! Thanks for sharing :D I have done this ridge walk in three pieces and was still tired after each of them! Well done and hopefully you had a nice meal and sleep! Hanna
