    A Summit for the Dogs - Abster's 48th 10/9

    It has been a little more than 1.5 years since Artex and Pennsy told me that I had just gotten my first peak on 'the list' - North Kinsman. I wasn't really interested in doing a list of peaks, but more just getting out to experience the Whites. I found that in doing the list I have hiked many...

    Pico Ruivo - Highest Peak in Madeira, Portugal

    Ahh Madeira! Thanks for the trip report. I have been interested in going to Madeira for a couple years now, but still have not because of the cost to get there. Lisbon isn't too bad, but then getting to Madeira adds quite a bit of cost. I have looked at the area around Pico Ruivo on-line and...

    Kilkenney Ridge Saturday Thanks Michael! Okay, plans are coming together. Friday, I will likely do either Zealand or South Kinsman. Saturday the plan is for Kilkenney Ridge, which I am assuming would also include Starr King. This is approximately 24 miles, so an early start is necessary...

    Olympic National Park - Mt. Constance

    I did a NOLS (National Outdoor Leadership School) 3 week trip out there a couple of years ago in the Olympic Nat'l Park - we basically traversed the park. We traversed the Humes, Hoe (did I spell that right?) and the Blue glacier. We were supposed to climb Olympus, but were caught in a storm...

    Cats on Sunday, 8/6

    Hi Jen, That would be great! Of course we could carpool. The hike shouldn't be more than 10 miles, but it is fairly steep. Damon was talking about going up one of the ski trails, but I haven't heard back from him yet. We are supposed to be meeting at Pinkham at 8:30am on Sunday. Let's...

    My unsuccessful Rainier attemp

    I'm pretty sure it was a bag of bacon - she loves it! I took Diamox for my Kili climb and didn't have any problem with it. The guide who smoked when we stopped called the cigarette his 'Diamox'. :eek: An acclimatization day, as Giggy mentioned, is key. I don't think 'making good time' on...
