I just heard about it as well. amazing man who honestly had amazing help. definitely read the biography of tenzing by douglas. great book. either way, an adventurer of this caliber will be missed...sorely.

Here you go folks. Remember, same rules apply as the other quizzes. You map savants need to leave some for others to answer. 1 answer per person, if you know em all, pm me and I'll give you all the cookies and green squares you can eat. Tallyho! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8...

My thoughts to you and your family Neil. Losing my little brother was the most painful time of my life. I can't fathom what it would be for a parent. It simply shouldn't happen.

Nunnemacher is huge. There's a loft with thin mattresses and room for 20ish. They're also stocked with pots and pans. Nunnemacher has a gas stove for cooking. Wood for heat is supplied. Ice climbing on Holt's isn't always the best in the peregrine area. I always went off the side of the...

Did about 70 peaks this year, mostly thanks to people getting me off my butt. Doing some math, I averaged about 15 peaks a year over an 8 year span prior to getting on this board. A few more on trails than bushwhacks. 40+ in VT, 15+ in NH, and a handful in ME and NY. Hightlights:Wedding on...

I hiked Cannon with my skis strapped to my back once a ways back. I went up the foot path, warmed up in the tram lodge and then skied down. I know hiking isn't allowed on the ski trails at Cannon, as has been mentioned but I also met a ski patroller as soon as I popped out of the trail on top...

Good stuff. Not something I expected to see, that's for sure. The tracks were slightly smaller than a deer's and they also seem to do their business every 3 minutes or so along the trail. Deer seem to have better control of their bodily functions. Not bad for my first excursion into the cats.

This one's great too. It's powered, but to see a guy buzz the alps with this on his back is just plain awesome. I want one I want one I want one. I promise I won't use it one Katahdin. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHYXrqoS08o&feature=related edit: ooops, wrong link

I know a router is used for DOC signs (given away by the not nearly straight letters). I'd guess that a lot of other signs are made using a wood miller, which gives the user more control, thereby creating straight letters.

Gallons and gallons...mmmmmmmm

Yes, yes I do.

Stouts are cheap. I could do 2 for 47. A high-gravity/alcohol content beer would be better for the winter. Who wants their beer to freeze? ;)

oooh baby. 47 bucks would make a beer that would knock your socks off. triple bock anyone?

Beer/Wine/Munchies, hands down.

Wu, you could always go for a tibetan air burial. The ravens would love you.

I will never sell out my faithfulness to the original Dirt Dog. He's gone, but not forgotten. For 10 years, Nixon was the Red Sox. Anyways, I don't have the money to buy a Lowell one.

I think we just had this conversation. It is highly irresponsible to hike while inebriated and I plan on being highly inebriated. I may hike around my office all week wearing my Trot Nixon jersey. I miss trot. GO SOX

I am also puzzled as to why you didn't go up Butterfield. It's nicer than Signal, that's for sure.

Superb trip report! Being in the woods is truly an ultimate form of therapy. Heal your mind and your ass will follow! Hope you continue to recuperate and get to enjoy the wonderful, impending Vermont winter KT.

All I know is that you're bringing me. I'll learn Danish, Icelandic, and how to fit into your average-sized piece of luggage. Please?
