Way to go Spencer, VERY impressive.

Why, why Rainier with guides? Working towards something? There might be better options depending on your goals.

BRAVO !!! Super job!

Neve. Sublimation is when something changes from a solid to gas without going through water phase. Freezer burn is an example of this.

Not familiar with this at all but very familiar with EQX. My best guess is that it was a seasonal flow and that the outward/upward projection was gravity fed pressure as opposed to a geyser. I know of several area springs that flow heartily, if not actually upward into the air, in Spring and...

Non-scientific study here but I live under New England's largest (most populated) bat cave and the number of bats hovering around my yard at dusk has risen from 1 to 2 to 3 over the last couple summers. Others report similar small increases in the area.

Wonderful achievement

That's great, thanks

The only good thing about Vegas is its proximity to Nevada.

Hey, this is great. Thanks. It's good to see some of the quiet corners on the map being explored and shared.

Mtnrs route is class 2 max. All I remember is a big boulder field. You'd have to forcibly strike your head against a rock to find difficulties there in summer. I don't remember any red tape either. Unless you wave a flag around looking for attention you can often just park-up-down-out...

It seems that the very best freeheel skiers mix it up. They can do the tree or bump run in tele turns but switch between parallel and tele in an unconscious art form. We started our kids on freeheel gear and told them to just make parallel turns so they could keep up. Then they started...

It's a good weekend to visit the Northshire; Saturday - Magic Mtn has events plus discounted tickets for back/side country skiers, the Black Magic extreme challenge and their Winterfest Saturday Night - Film Festival at Burr & Burton Academy with films from Winter Wildlands, Nato and Ski...

I tried it, results not impressive. I plunged knee deep into water headed to an ice climb. Took off boots, scrubbed socks in snow, the whole thing. It probably worked but my feet were fully wet, cold and miserable through the day. Also, last winter I took up nordic skating and falling in...

You're right, I can't think of a single experience that is directly relatable to New England, mostly due to AK's big rivers which are like frozen highways. New England is more creeks. Here's a few experiences; friend fell in (right through) ice while XC skiing (long distance, 50 miles from the...

When I lived in Alaska a few of my adventuring friends were former mushers/trappers and it was habit for them to build a fire everytime we stopped to rest. I remember even on belay ledges them collecting some twigs and duff to get a little hand sized fire going. To them it was a critical life...

Even when you know it's coming, your odds are slim. http://gearjunkie.com/crazy-crevasse-falling-video

Billy - Kudos to you for sharing your thoughts. The older I get - the older my kids get - the more I agree with you. I chased fun, challenge and adventure around the world and the best I've ever found is right here with my tweens / teens. And no forced bivi's required.

Challenge?? Another vote for skiing something. For me trees were a much harder skill to master than anything else.

I just found this by National Geographic, fascinating... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rsd2i-qFHK4
