Awesome job all of you! It's funny how Timmus and crew ran into Stinkyfeet and crew on Rainier. What are the odds???

How can this even happen???? http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/player/popup/?rn=4226712&cl=9106527&src=news All she did was stop to get something out of her pack and a 17 year old mistook this as a bear???? Unless you hike in a bear suit, this should never happen. I hope he is charged with...

Horrible news... That is one tough mountain. It has he highest summit to death ratio of any peak in the world, and sadly this statistic just went up...

Lost in Long Island? Is that even possible???? Maybe for Billy Joel when he has had too many "bottles of red...bottles of white".., but not for most hikers… :D I think this advice is purely subjective to area and situation. The first 4 options in the article make more sense. IMO, when lost...

Sad story... Most people parish on the way down from the summit and not on top (unless they fall from the summit ridge which is a snowy knife edge), but I can certainly understand the situation... Last I heard there were around 30 bodies still on the mountain with the majority of them in...

Life is measured by what one experiences in life, and Joseph experienced more than most... The picture tribute was amazing...

"Mr. Bulger, here is another pack of HoHo's, a can of Beef-a-Roni, a 6 pack of Zima, and the latest Maxim, can I get paid now???" :D

Excellent job Jean and Nat! Well done! Welcome back to the land of showers, toilets, and "real food". Enjoy!

You are correct about there not being a bridge to cross the E. Branch of the Pemi near the East Campsites. When you get to the bottom of the Bondcliff Trail, take a left and go over the bridge to the East Side Trail, then follow that to the Campsites. It only adds about a mile to your hike. To...

Several winters ago, myself and a few friends slept on the middle of Chimney Pond on the ice in nothing more than our sleeping bags and pads. It was a gorgeous night with the moon rising, no wind, and lots-o-stars. Definitely one of the most memorable places I have ever slept...

Just arrived home yesterday morning and I now finally have a chance to respond to this long thread. Since it is going to be a while before Mats has all of his TR’s up, I figured I would do an overall summery of our trip and answer a few lingering questions. First of all, special thanks to...

Date of Hike: 10May08 Trail Conditions: Snow becomes consistent above 2800’. Below that it is a PITA especially on the Shoal Pond Trail which is a horror show right now. Took me 3 hours to go 4 miles on that trail do to rotten snow, 1/2 snow covered bog bridges, blowdowns, lots of water...

That was a fun day! (besides the close encounter of the solid chunks of ice travelling at us at 30mph kind). Arm's ice sculpture The 6 of us had about 10-12 seconds to react, which was enough time to at least come up with an option to avoid a disaster. There is a lot of luck involved though...

Lets see... You want to do 14'rs, your flying to Vegas with no permits for Whitney, you have 7-8 days, and your willing to do the long drive to CO, personally I would just go with the San Juans. That is my favorite range in the whole state, and with about a dozen Fourteeners to choose from, your...

If he is carrying 127 pounds to promote his company Golite, he ought to come up with a more efficient "lightweight" way to transport it, like a "Golite" wheelbarrow. :)

Awesome report and pictures!!! Glad you survived "The Gauntlet" of the Golden Road :eek:. Sometimes just getting to the mountain is harder than climbing it...

Awesome job! I find those types of hikes the best! And you finished the list with some great company... :) Well done...

Awesome trip report and pictures! You guys made the most of what you were dealt with weather wise. Good job! That is one of the problems with having to book trips like this 4 months in advance, the weather is always a crapshoot... At least you got a yellow for summit day :) That is definitely...

I'm a huge fan of the Northern AZ/NM area. Forrests, mountains, canyons, and with relatively mild winters (compared to our standards). The people there are also much more layed back than in the NE... Hard to run out of places to explore there, and if you do, it's not too far to Southern CO or...

I might be interested in next Tuesday, as long as all of this rain doesn't cause Nashoba to become "NoSnowba".:eek: That's a long way for me to drive just to have a few wobbly-pops... :)
