Dang.....I've only done 5..........it's very possible no one has done that list period.....if we now add about 400 10,000-footers to the list..... Would be interesting to see what happens of Ed Hawkins moves to Montana :D

The playgrounds out there might not be as daunting as the Whites.....but it's not too shabby.... I will miss you guys a whole bunch of bundles though......that's the big issue......

Hi Everyone, After much deliberation I decided to accept a controller position for a non-profit close to Bozeman, Montana. I went to college there a couple of years ago ;) , ran my first 50-miler there, got la....anyway, I got the last campsite (#8) at Barnes Field for May 20-21....it's a small...

Congrats J&J! Mighty things happens on Tecumseh!

Absolutely!.......never underestimate the impact of Tecumseh.....he was a Shawnee Chief fighting with the British in the 1812 war.....inflicting significant damage to the Americans....he was killed in battle on October 5, 1813. Richard Mentor Johnson, who was elected vice president in 1837...

Alarm went off at 2am in order for me to meet Frodo at Lincoln Woods at 5:30am. After spotting his car there we drove up through Franconia Notch to the Garfield winter TH. Cruddy Toes joined us there to make sure we had a good pace up to Garfield.. And of we went in the gray morning.....Cruddy...

I was considering heading up there but didn't dare.......too risky......it would probably have made the Jackson traverse the next day impossible.....

A couple of photos: View from Pierce towards Washington. Observe the snow plume coming off Monroe...... From Jackson looking back towards Pierce....

Now....that's an awesome trip report with excellent photos! S&B Darlene :)

After seeing some good friends at Barnes Field in the morning I started from Highland Center up Crawford Path towards Monroe....nice trail to Pierce...... then half-way to Eisenhover I realized (as Timmus eloquently puts it) this is going to be a b*tch......it was hard enough to navigate in the...

Great that you are back in the game Dr. D! I did traverse Jackson once today....Pierce and Jackson in 6 hours.....see separate trip report.....

I think at one point I counted 17 solo hikers on North Tripyramid.......all except for one had the inclination to look down at the feet when da ranger showed up...thanks for taking one for the team ;) Da Ranger tracking suspicious clusters of solo-hikers below Tripyramids ......

I'm thinking a traverse of Jackson.....maybe twice if good weather.....;)

"Practice makes perfect" seems to work.....for example Farmer probably went up Tecumseh at least 75 times as practice and he is very comfortable scaling Tecumseh now.....

Let me clarify a bit then: 1. The heading in the trip report should say 2011 instead of 2010 2. Last winter (2009-2010) I was up on Tecumseh expedition style with Farmer, Jason Ferris, Juniper and MEB. We happened to run into Frodo then. 3. Juniper finished her NH48 list on Tripyramids in the...

Because we hiked it together :rolleyes: We had a strong team there with Farmer, Jason Ferris, MEB, you and me. So it was a big contrast to go at it solo this time......

I know, I know Stinky.......as a precaution I went up Moosilauke earlier in the day to gauge if it would be safe to take on Tecumseh......

I think soloing Jackson is a reasonable goal......with Highland Center closeby with all its amenities.....last time I had a great experience with their Chateau Deyrem-Valentin, Cru Bourgeois, Margaux 2008. It has a lovely texture, fine tannin, abundant black fruit and good acidity and length...

After practicing for some time in winter conditions in the Whites I finally decided to do a solo hike up Tecumseh. I knew it was going to be cold and windy higher up so I prepared myself with hats and gloves and a jacket with a hood. Since relatively cold I thought I'll be ok with one liter of...

Great to see you while you were lapping us on Yale! Go girl!
