thermarest prolite plus works pretty well for me (side sleeper, 200 lbs)

hist(vMax/posZ,bins=10,range = [1,4]) x ... ntsize=16)

does the girl come with the device?

ok I borrowed some more of Henry's images: https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/lh4.googleusercontent.com/-6qK8iYKjDiI/T87V993mA2I/AAAAAAAAKrY/w9g_at9tcq8/s720/552831_10150766668726548_1064689692_n.jpg https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/lh6.googleusercontent.com/-IQiTiz8wuac/T87V7abmlAI/AAAAAA...

coincidentally a bit after you posted that pic, I got an email from a banned member of this forum demanding I take him on this hike!

Pine Canyon?

GMR = glendora mountain road

looking at morris resevoir & R39 with Silver mt in the background, from GMR?

My friend Henry, who went on this hike with me, successfully made the summit this time with a friend this past weekend. I don't think he posts on this forum, so just a FYI. It took them 23 hours :shock: . Their register entry is the only one since the hiker who was on the ridge for 4 days. https://e...

Speak for yourself dood. Im a housekeeper. Im runnin around all day, carrying sheets n towels (Huge 10-25lb stacks of em) up n down stairs at the hotel all day, and clean 10-14 rooms a day. I NEVER get to sit down, we dont even get a lunch-break. Then, after 6-8 hrs of that, I walk home, change int...

Just put on a pack and get out there. Don't get caught in all the protein/carbo/fat nonsense. One simple rule to follow is that the body becomes good at doing what it is told to do, over and over again --- Whether you like it or not, you will become good at doing what you do most often.

Iron Fork camp?

yeah that ridge is steep. I remember hiking it some time after the fire that hit it and had to use my hands in some parts...ended up with black charcoal stains all over my hands, face, and shorts!

what's the route??

damn Zach, that's a lot of running! good luck in the marathon, got a time you are shooting for? be careful with overtraining. make sure you have at least a few days off per week so your tendons can recover from the pounding. I think you can progress nicely without having to do 9 miles each time, plu...

I really enjoy the middle-high backcountry off the ACH. Waterman/Twin Peaks, Pleasant View Ridge, and Winston Peak/Ridge are some of my favorite places.

http://www-fars.nhtsa.dot.gov/Main/index.aspx It seems the rate is about 1.14 deaths per 100 million miles driven. So if you drive 1 million miles over your lifetime, you have about a 1 % chance of a fatal accident. The stats for Everest fatalities seem to vary, from 2 - 10%. Of course, that doesn'...

the likelyhood of severe injury on a trip up Everest is higher than the likelyhood of severe injury on a trip in your car. vs lifetime of driving? good question. I'd say if the kid has not been informed of the inherent risks, then it's irresponsible. And at that age, can he fully understand the risk...

these people are full of shit. play around with google maps. Of course the time estimates aren't perfect, but from downtown Asuza to downtown Wrightwood via 210 and 15 ~ 65 minutes. From Asuza to Crystal Lake = 37 mins. 4.4 closed part of 39 = ??? From Islp Saddle to Wrightwood = 25 mins. How is ope...

While not as flashy as a mountain lion, these creatures are unique to the San Gabriels and also hard to catch on camera. They howl and bark loudly, but in reality have very little bite. Once thought to be on the verge of extinction, they have been showing up on the trail more frequently in the dayli...

really nice photos!

you gonna do the traverse in this???

lol.

i've met this guy before.

and he knows FO apparently.

literally and figuratively

good. pretty much all the reasons for opening up that section are B.S anyways, and everyone knew it was going to be a big PITA to keep open.

I went down Dark canyon a few years ago, but that was pre-Station Fire. The use trail was steep and a little loose in places, but doable. Post fire? No clue.

geez, they were very wordy back then. Perhaps. But they've apparently got more smarts than a Taco, a Turtle, and a Sweetstacks combined: In all the Sierra Madre there is no wilder spot, I think, than this region ... a mile above the mouth of the Iron Fork, the river is joined by Fish Fork ... A nar...

HikeUp wrote: ↑ Ze', not my next hike but maybe eventually. Maybe. Think of it as a recon mission for crazy people like you! Actually, was your route down to Triplets mostly on the north or the south side of the ridge? Or 50-50?

50/ 50 First half down to ~ 6500 on north side, then on south side to final ascent.

scouting your next hike? 8)

awesome job. you need to hike with Steve and Fern.

Definitely less than 4.5 hrs, quite likely less than 4. Doing 3 hrs to tram is pretty good, but based on my pr's I'm sure someone has done 2:30 or less.

he's ALIVE!!!!
