The strange thing is that they found them at the same elevation as we were when we turned back. They came up the Cassin Ridge though so we were probably 1/3 mile from them or so in distance. We are going back next year in early June. Some of the same crew and some new faces......

Bodies of the two Japanese climbers found at 19,800'.... They finally found them while looking for another missing climber: http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_12532174?source=email

Thanks Gillian for organizing a very fine gathering in good Irish style :) They ran out of many good brews there during the night.....biggest group of VFTT'ers I've seen in a long time :) Plenty of parking a block up the street on the right.....maybe 100 spots behind the buildings...

Will be there but after 8pm.....can't miss this one :)

Went light this time.....did a grueling ascent of Pine Mountain on Saturday so I had to keep it light to keep up with the pressie traversers :D

I think so.....on a Pemi loop in 2007 there was one on top of Bondcliff. Had another encounter on top of Cabot so they are probably working on regular peak bagging lists as well.

Cast: Ferrisjrf (Jason) Unfrozen Caveman (UFC) Sasquatch (Rob) Mats Roing (Mats) After a delayed start we were off a little after 7am from Lincoln Woods. Jason and UFC had a pressie traverse in their legs from the previous day so they were doing something unbelievable :eek: Jason took off into...

Very impressive indeed! Shake and Bake is all I can say :)

To make things simple - just buy a 4.4 lbs bag of this and start hiking - it's pretty amazing how much quality content is in here. It's way better than most things you can buy for humans in a regular food store: http://www.karmaorganicpet.com/products/default.asp?id=1503

My deepest condolences as well.......Genie had a great life with you two taking care of her. I believe Genie was thinking along those lines in her last moments. Sabrina's words are just perfect so I'm just including her comment here as well. Hugs, Mats

Dito....plus the 35.......

The olive oil swigs or flaxseed oil swigs manipulates the body to burn more fat since it gets signals that more fat is on the way in. I like to try to see how many miles you can hike in either of these scenarios - basically you hike until you pass out: * No water, food, drugs or any intake is...

Beer and Subway's /and or last night's pizza work great for day hikes......if the subs get smelly due to heat I eat fresh pine needles to disguise the taste....adding some olive oil helps with the fat burning process also....I usually have a little olive oil bottle and take swigs every couple of...

I wear the Osprey's a lot.......sizable front belt pockets....nice mesh back....and the big pocket on the back is perfect to stick the snowshoes in during winter hiking......The Atmos 50 you can get for below $150 when on sale......that's the one I used for the 48 Direttissima in 2007.

Someone's gotta start although I'm probably wrong: Part 1: Wildcat Ridge Trail for Wildcats D and A Part 2: Garfield Trail to Garfield

A fantastic team for a great loop it sounds like :) You didn't happen to see a group of high school kids bragging about a Heineken keg they found along the AT? ;)

Keep it up Darlene! The Alps are eager to see you next month! Mats

One of the goals in rescue operations are to avoid further injuries and incidents.......just got an X-ray of my right hand and it was fractured :(....at least I didn't slow down or complicate the rescue :)

It's just that when you look at the map the impression is that the junction is right after you cross the river and no need to head up a tick or two to the real junction. It would help if the red line on the map went up north a little bit more after the river crossing. Or placing a sign right...

It's a bit like "What can your country do for you vs. What can you do for your country". Just put yourself in the landowner's situation......
