ok, thats why i have never heard of it, i think ive worn down hill ski boot once, i was about ten and had my first and last downhill experience. I have seen a group hiking nipple top wearing ski boots. i would think they would be extremely heavy. thanks for the education, learn something new...

What exactly is this? I have never heard of this.

Great, another hiker that will be passing me :p Thats the best gift ever, congrats!

I leave my cell phone powered down also because of what yvon stated, the phone will go dead constantly searching for service otherwise, and if operating in analog mode the phone uses alot more power than when in digital mode. the other downfall to leaving it powered down is for those who hike...

Stan, by leaving it set to "on" it will allow Verizon to ping your phone for its location, kinda like what they did for the Mt Hood hikers. this could help in finding you as long as your phone is picking up a singnal from the tower, and your phone is with you. I have mine set the same way and...

On saturday my son and I set out for these two majestic peaks, we knew earlier in the week the weather was going to be iffy, and sure enough saturday morning confirmed that with heavy overcast and a drizzle that reminded me of London. We signed into the register at the Ausable Club gatehouse...

Noah John Rondeau This book is a classic to me, it describes the life and times of an Adirondack Hermit that lived in the High Peaks, interesting reading for those who traverse the woods. Maybe someone already talk about this earlier in the thread, sorry, i was too lazy to read them, ha ha. be...

My son wants to climb Everest, he wasnt even turned off when they showed the frozen bodies. I on the other hand being 40 yrs old have nothing to prove to anyone and can think of more enjoyeable things to do that are safer and cheaper. My son is 13 and he doesnt fully appreciate the scope of...

Its going to be interesting what kind of damage the High Peaks have taken with the storm that passed through friday night, hopefully nobody was caught out in it, stay safe all, and watch that weather!

Looks like rush hour on the 93. Sad story!

Anything new on this? I know Darrens away in the fridgid hawaiian islands..

my local EMS has 6-point AustriAlpin http://www.austrialpin.com SG-01P so the 1st are full shoe coverage - the latter are shorter. I've seen the Black Diamonds & they just look too technical - aggressive. Peter I have these, if i remember correctly they were only $100. and seem to work...

"Two for survival" by Arthur Roth, it is a paperback also, light reading too.

Chip i had asked Darren about getting patches done, and said he plans on doing them but will be after the benefit ride for Brain Tumor Society, I also am looking forward to them!

Look for the injured hiker (thats me) or the one limping away smiling. :o

I Never assume, i will always bring a tent

LOL, your not the only one!!!

Someday i will fly higher than Everest!

My Fiance told me about this, shock, and anger is what comes to mind. I guess they never heard the story of the good samaritan? Perhaps they soon shall find it!

Memorial day weekend at that, pretty sure the garden will be full. Big slide is a beautiful hike, when my son and I hiked it we went over the brothers and walked out from JBL, i prefered this approach because it was a gradual rise, whereas going up Big slide from the garden is alot more in a...
