Trails are in good shape. The climb up Cliff is challenging as always but there is little snow for February which I think makes it even more difficult. Snowshoed up, used crampons down. Crossed over both Avalanche Lake and Lake Colden. Avalanche Lake is windblown snowless and quite slick...

I'll go back to my MSR Denali ascents. I've had them for over three years, had to send then back for repair once when the footbed cracked. Other than that I have been quite happy with them.

Here's a thread from ADKhighpeaks as well. And just an FYI... I am returning my flex alps. Can't stand the toe-pain! http://forums.adkhighpeaks.com/showthread.php?t=10468

We're thinking of going to the showing in Lake Placid tomorrow night. If we get there I'll let folks know how it is!

I too am a regular participant in this event having done it 7 times now. It really is a lot of fun and I've met all kinds of folks. The after hike activities are a blast (even though they are not vegetarians or vegan friendly:() and it's fun to see the folks who raised the highest amounts. My...

I've had quite a few spructrap episodes. Once on Gray (in the ADK's) I fell in chest high. Decided to turn back when I had the vision of folks finding my body 10 feet up in a tree when they came through in Spring:D. That same day I went in over my head on Skylight. Luckily the branches of...

Sounds wonderful! (And how did the dancing go?) Happy New Year:)

Let's all hope for a good outcome... http://www.kgw.com/news/local/Rescue-mission-underway-for-experienced-Mt-Hood-climbers-79133077.html 1 dead... update http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34397059/ns/us_news-life

Giggy's climbing! ... The season has begun:D;)!

Happy Birthday Arm! It's my son's b-day too, now I'll never forget yours! Enjoy the day.

I was just going to submit this under trail conditions, but there's no way to do that for Hawaii (what's up with that Darren???) so here's a brief trip report:). What a great day. Hikethe115 (aka Dawn, aka M&M) and I are out in Hawaii and hiked this incredible state's highpoint. After a fairly...

Date of Hike: 11-19-09 Hikers: Tmax and Topofgothics Trail Conditions: Burrows/Long Trail/Forest City loop. Trails were nearly perfect! Some spotty ice in areas that get no sun, but otherwise the trails were fairly dry and clear. Special Equipment Recommended: Could have managed the hike...

Date of Hike: 11-07-09 Hikers: Tmax and Topofgothics Trail Conditions: Still wet with some ankle deep mud at the lower elevations of the Beaver Meadow Trail. Up higher the trails were icy with a couple of inches of snow. Gothics summit was blown clean. Special Equipment Recommended: Winter...

Denali here I Come!!

Thanks for doing a trip report Kieth. It was good to meet you and your son. This is my 5th time carrying those two flags to a summit and it has a great deal of meaning for me. Thank you for joining myself and Topofgothics. We went on to do Field and Tom and then Topofgothics went out in...

Topofgothics has been hiking strong and plans to get into White House Landing today. We are hopeful he will finish and make that amazing climb up Katahdin on Friday the 4th. Anyone who's around, please feel free to come say Hi! I'll be meeting him in the park Thursday afternoon. Just to...

I am speechless:)

Thanks everyone! Snickers (who truly is one of the nicest people I know) will be driving through the area on her way to Maine so she'll shuttle me. I love this hiking community:D! Hillwalker... Thanks so much for the offer. Topofgothics will be at The Hikers Welcome Hostel Friday night and...

I'm headed up to join Topofgothics on his AT thru-hike for two weeks as he goes through the Whites.:D As most of you know, getting from point A to point B in the Whites can be a challenge. I'm looking to get from Pinkham to Glencliff on August 1st and don't want to take the 6 hour hiker...

Nice job you guys! Did you need a week to recoup when you got home?;)
