    This morning Jason and Ryan went out to do Cannon, Kinsman's, Osceola's and Hancock's. The original plan was to come down to Lonesome Lake Hut after Cannon and refill water bottles and then head up to Kinsman's. They decided to go over the Cannonballs instead which became hard work and Jason...

    Thank you but I think we are all good. Farmer and Jason are back in Twin Mountain after the four peaks today. Tomorrow will be Bonds-Galehead Traverse so a 7-peak day to bring the total count to 35.

    Jason is having a veggiemate sandwich and feels like he hiked from the land down under;) Just picked them up at Lincoln Woods after they banged out Garfield-Franconia Ridge and Owls's Head:eek: Franconia Ridge posed the biggest problem today with 25 feet visibility above timberline and lots of...

    Team less one member is sill going strong - will drive to Lincoln Woods in a few hours to pick them up. I'm out of the game after summiting Garfield with Jason and Ryan today. A few things added together made me join the support team instead. Basically I felt too fatigued to go towards...

    OK, a little summary so far: Saturday: Isolation and Wildcats-Moriah Beautiful day and we were charged up and did Iso in 4:26......repacked and went for Wildcat ski area. Wildcats went well but when we started up Carter Dome I got cramps in my leg so we stopped and refueled and I had some...

    T minus 41 hours...... Weather is looking very promising although Washington might have strong winds to begin with so Isolation and Wildcats-Moriah seems to be the more likely starting day right now. Farmer is stomping out Owl's Head today......and our thoughts are with the people of...
