    What gear do you dream of getting, or getting rid of....

    I recently found a beautiful super expensive Patagonia Gore-tex shell that I like (but certainly don't neeeeeeeed). I'll keep my eye on it, as with everything else, eventually........it will go on sale......and I'll be waiting! Sales get me in so much trouble! With our abundance of gear, we...

    Kahootla microspikes

    I love my microspikes and can't imagine that I ever lived without them!!! Seriously!! You don't even know you have them on, but when you hit a bit of ice............you barely even notice it! Easy to put on/take off. A piece of gear I will definately replace once they wear out. And like others...

    A Quick Hike To Isolation, 2/11/2012

    Sounds like it was a great day with great conditions! I opted for the shorter drive yesterday morning and hiked Owl's Head......not sure my feet are thanking me today, but it was a breeze with the hard-packed condtions and 2 bushwacks......I'd say easier than summer! It feels like cheating this...

    Isolation, 2/11/2012

    tempting! So tempting to head to Isolation tomorrow after reading/hearing about the great conditions out there! I managed to get a nice blister under a callous on my big toe today!!! (just what everyone wanted to know) So, I'm a "maybe" for hitting Rocky Branch tomorrow!!

(not too far from...

    CDTA shutting down

    Very sad about the CDTA, but thank goodness Jim Wolfe and the Society (CDTS) are still active in helping the trail. Amazingly, the whole trail has been GPS'd and the remainder of the trail maps should be available this year (WY/MO). http://www.bearcreeksurvey.com/ So, between the "Wolfe...

    Women's SPECIFIC Gear (Especially Pants)

    I wear a pair of soft shells pants (women's XC skiing pants) that I scored cheap at LLBean a few years back. If/when these ever fall apart, I'll look into these: http://www.rei.com/product/795105/mountain-hardwear-teralyn-pants-womens but mostly because Mountain hardware seems to fit me...

    Rainier Ranger Shot

    Wow, crazy story from the camper's point of view. Little did they know........ That was a good read.....and interesting how it went from the actual incident to a bunch of TV reporters trying to get a 1st hand story! scary situation for sure. A friend of ours was in "lockdown" at the visitor's...

    Brutus – In Memoriam, 2000-2011

    Kevin - So sorry to hear about Brutus hiking on to doggie heaven. He was a good pup :) Only got to hike with him once, when he decided to turn back on Owl's Head slide years ago.....maybe before his bushwack route.....but he made up his mind and that was that!! He had a great life, better than a...

    "Is it worth it?" My take on early season ice climbing.

    Personally, I think just getting that last amazing shot of your shadow in the "rainbow" makes it all worth it!
