Great Job !!! :d

Dan Capitol is probably one of the most difficult 14ers in CO . I have Climbed it 5 times once was a SAR on the Knife Edge. you will need helemt as there is a lot of rockfall on it regardless of rout. Much of the route is much more exposed than anything in the NE the Knife Edge is about 100 ft...

You might want to plan your trip later in the spring espcially if ther is a heavy snow years as this past winter was. In late june early Jully there was still over 4 feet of snow above about 11,000 ft in many places. This snow is tough to travel on as it gets very soft early in...

Amstony, Those are nice "easy " peaks . Mt Evans has a road to nearly the Summit so If you ae in that area yopu can drive up and spned some time at 14 k there is a lake below the Summit and lots of very hungry and friendly MT Goats. who will steall you food. At least the ones on the...

AWSOME! Need i say more go guys!

Some one Else posted Photos . Having done Capitol a few times one winter ascent I will never repeat willingly . I can say with out a doubt the knife edge on Capitol is both dangerous and extreamly exposed it is in the if you fall you probably will die catagory it is considered a Class...

Eisenhower, Oscealoa from Tripoli road , are both nice hikes that do not have any scrambling . Liberty and Garfield are also a nice hikes with out any scrambling all have great views.

Arghman you remided me of books about plants and wildlife. I am looking upo stuff on line . I sure would love to find something in the area we had talked about off list. I cannot go to far but if it is not too tough and I carry a reasonble load i would love ot go look for some thing...

The Storm that should not have happned It is 2 Am I look out side not a cloud in sight the stars are glittering and the moon casting a surreal light. Great time to drive over Independence Pass and climb La Plata ( it means The Silver peak in English ) I make it to the trail head on RT 82...

I hope you recover fast. I was about to post about being injured and un able to hike. I really messed up my right Knee on the way down Pyramid Peak in CO . My MD wants me have a MRI and all the other stuff. I am not sure If I want to find out. but I digress. I found reading about...

Chomp You might like the The area near Granite Peak here is link http://www.summitpost.org/show/mountain_link.pl/mountain_id/57 . The Climb itself is difficult but spectacular. Just getting to Froze to Death Plateau is a adventure. The scenery is incredible and remote. You will not see...

Hiker Bob Nice Photosand some good plant Ids by all. ! Before you resort to Chemical warfare on the stuff try digging out all of its roots and then placing it trash bag . Do not Burn it . If you cannot dig up the roots Buy something that you can spray only on the leaves of the...

I am no sure about this but if I recall correctly somewhere i read only 4 or 5 SARs have resulted in people being billed. of thet number I think 3 of them were all involved in a incident on Laffyette a few yaers ago where 3 seprate gruops became lost in a white out on the mountain some...

Jeff Only the Huntington Ravine trail is considered a alpine route it is what I would call a 2+ or easy class 3 route. Many of the trails are tough but I would not say they are beyond the ablities of other hikers. For Example Climbing 14,000 ft peaks is popular in Colorado . Many of the...

SK you are right about the Danail Webster trail. Not onlly does it seem long but the boulders / talus below the ridge crest are not fun at all. I enjoy scrambling but that part of the trail is not even that it is just a pain in butt . Madsion Gulf is indeed a long steep but very...

I have not seen the show either . I have to agree with Rik The type of kids in thease programs have enough problems with out having thier truobles broadcast to millions of potential veiwers. I also agree with others that thre seems to be much more going on than the kids acting bad...

Not sure on the heaviest load . I did haul a small keg not sure of the size to Crag Camp in my 20's I think one time I had about 100 lbs but never weighed it . Highest Denali via the Cassin ridge Coldest -45 at 16,000 ft in the coldest part of the day. strongest wind toss up...

Waumbeck. The Contactor , Bedard . Is from Quebec . It could well be some one upset about forgien companies and such. . In a economically depressed area usch as Berlin . stuff like out sourcing and forgien compaines does not go over well. I do believe Bedard hired locals to operate...

Not only the hiking community, But every one who enjoys the out doors regarless of how and the poeple who live in the area. If it is found to be some nut case. with a agenda I am afraid more people will close off land and access. BTW most logging on the scale that Dillon is doing...
