EISPIRATEN

Either way we started fixing up to spend the night and Patrick rolls in. He tells me I missed Zé and CougarMagic by MINUTES! Now you have to understand, back when I was trying to do Allison mine (unbeknownst to me, the hard way) I emailed Ze for some advice and he totally hooked up the info... so y...

damn kids juicing up...

got a little bit on my lower back and upper thigh, didn't feel it until day (no sign of PO the day after is a very good thing). not surprising considering my failed brush acrobatics dropped me on top of some. but very mild and totally acceptable!

wow, I didn't know Dr. Evil was into mountaineering

oh and Taco / Zach, can you acme the ~ location of the 10-12' falls you had to get around?

Ross SE ridge: awesome. looks like you were a few yards short of the mineral marker or? ......trail(very interesting BTW)...you got a good look at pk 5995 Ross. steep. Falls Gulch - yep...now you know what the route look like where one contours into/out of the gulch. exposure. Fish Fork - why do I ...

Pretty cool also that you could see the Wetwater trail. I tried to follow that a ways in the late 80's/early 90's but decided the brush was just too brutal. The route up from the E. Fork is the more doable route. oh yeah, exploring the Wetwater trail (or allison - SM trail) would purely be about th...

went on trip with Taco and Zach trying to get their gear back. Wasn't with them up the last part up the falls so stay tuned for their more interesting report!

apparently FO hangs out at the socalhikes blog now, along with GWBush and Lionel Hutz. I'm having trouble decided which ones are real or fake

I don't know if you would want to start on the ridge...I remember the HPS route description saying to start up the wash and then at some point go onto the ridge. I would agree - I came down the ridge and tried to continue down the ridge (past the point described) and it was covered in brush and pois...

very cool

yeah crazy. but you're ignoring the adjacent, better photo in your stream:

so what exactly is it about?

fuck it. the ANF is incompetent. people from different cultural backgrounds don't treat the forest the way others do, so it ends up as shit. thanks, ANF

whagarble

wow. I didn't realize the time duration of you getting down to him. that must have been quite a time of mental strain for both of you.

nice! did you head up the ridge east of Camp Creek to little San G?

also you didn't get to Allen...did you descend back down between Birch and Cedar?

wow, awesome & crazy. Bottom line, this is a very long canyon. It would've taken us 3 days. We may have started late (on purpose) on day 1, but it still would've taken forever. Since we found ZERO beta/info on this canyon, we went in with what truly belongs in a trip, what planned trips you know...

saw some photos, seems he did some 'interesting' trip...

Ze, Great time. Would that be a “wind aided” 2:04? I was up there an hour earlier than you and damn it was windy… and cold. I stayed about 5 seconds and turned around and was home before noon. I guess it is getting time to start packing a coat and hat. thanks...there was definitely wind but don't t...

Nice stuff, Zé! You're a freakin' animal. :lol: I too have considered going up Grinnell Ridge as a method of ingress/egress, but it's such a long slog, and that Lost Creek trail was designed by drunk baboons. It takes for-freakin-ever to get anywhere. If I were to select a good jump off point, I wo...

yeah, no rest breaks!!!

dork alert!!!
