slow people pemi loop? Will, Maybe we can put together a slow people group on the side? maybe we can break it down to two days?

Thanks! I'm back! Thanks for thinking of me, everyone! Just got back in. Actually, you would be surprised that I'm fat like a penguin! Spent too many days at low altitude feeding myself while waiting for weather here and there:)

Thanks everyone! Thanks everyone for the happy night, warm hugs, and nice wishes! Thanks 7summits for cheerleading it! Thanks for folks who sent remote wishes! I might have been the only one who googled to find the place:) It will be a while to google the next beer night place. I will be back...

I work outside city, will be there by 6:30. It's good that Mats may get there before I do, it's easier to locate the serac than the crevasse.

Holiday to me is just another day off work. Thought about going to Colorado for some XC ski and hiking to the high peaks, but the airfare seems not too cheap. I'm hoping to get some good boost before I head off south for the winter like an migrating bird (I'm climbing in Antarctica and Aconcagua...

Nice hike, nice TR! Thanks Mats for the fun trip report! You have very good memory, I thought you didn't notice the extra weights while pushing up ;) Thanks everyone for the fun hike, and look forward to the next one!

Count me in for turtle group I love this kind of thing, just I'm a better candidate for the "fewest peaks" group.

I'm looking to do some long hikes this weekend, in the range of 30+ miles for two days. The options I'm considering include pemi loop, presis traverse, moria-carter traverse, and open to other suggestions. I enjoy carrying weight and slow death march from dawn to dark (but plan to headback by...

Sunday Sandwich 8:30am Thanks, Lawn Sale. The plan is to go up Sandwich Dome via Algonquin trail, come down via Smarts Brook Trail. Let's meet 8:30am Sunday at the junction of Sandwich Notch Rd and Rt 49. Then we can leave one car at Smarts Brook Trail head on Rt 49, drive the other one to...

Hiking during Xmas Thanks. I definitely would be hiking both Sunday and Monday, plan to start around 8:30-9am, down by 5pm so to get back to boston by dinner time. I haven't checked the trail yet, probabbly something along 93/112 to be closer to Boston. Please feel free to let me know if you'd...

Anyone interested in doing day hikes on Sunday (Xmas eve) or Monday (Xmas)? Open to any suggestions.

thanks Thanks, MadRiver. I found a partner. Have fun with WFA, I may call you for help:)

Anyone interested in joining me for Bonds this weekend? Start early on Saturday morning, North Twin - South Twin - Guyot - West Bonds; camp at Guyot campsite; Sunday: Bonds, then either return by repeating the route back north; or continue south to get out if we have another car.

How to visit? Haven't visited the web site for a long time, and I was shocked to come across this news. SK, we have only met a couple times, and I loved your bright smile and warm hug! I'm sure, despite all the injuries and setback, you are still smiling and you will get well soon. Our love...

This weekend offers the best winter conditioning :) Anyone interested in a day hike this Saturday? Open to other options.

Nice TR! Hi Dave, Thank you for the fun hike and the very nice trip report! It was a day well spent! I don't mind doing it or anything like this again!

Logistics Thanks for everyone's encouragement! In case other people may be interested in the answer to those questions: I booked with Pilgrim Tours, cost about 1000EUR, including 2 nights' hotel in Moscow, all domestic flight and transfer, all lodging/food/guide in the mountains. Seems to be...

Elbrus (continued) The snow cat dropped us off at Pastuckhov Rocks at 4800m, and we started moving up the steep slope shortly before 5am. Wind was blowing hard from the west, filled with icelets and snow, and slashed hard on any exposed skin. About one hour or more into the hike, sun started...

Finally, the belated trip reports – catching up the long-due work, running the hilarious 208 mile RTB relay race – haven’t been able to sit down until today. During the past few weeks, I traveled to Russia to climb Elbrus, 5642m = 18,510 feet, the highest peak in Europe. We successfully reached...
