Patrick - check out Glamisking's pictures from his Baldy trip this past Saturday. They're awesome.

when i used to ski -pack, i'd park on a friday nite, ski up to the top of poopout hill and bivy. ski to dry lake and snarf powder all afternoon. bivy again, and snarf mo pow in the b4 heading down. Sewellymon - I would so love to pack my snowboard to the top and snarf some fresh powder. How awesome...

Glamisking - beautiful pictures. Did you guys summit? I bet this weekend, the bowl would be in good conditions for a ski or snowboard decent.

Oreo Cookie? That would be David. HAHA! Reverse Oreo. Nice TR. You guy are crazy!!! Snowshoes definitely would have saved you some suffering. :D That cabin is at Horse Meadows not South Fork. How was it driving Jenks lake road out??? I imagine it wasn't plowed??? We discussed snowshoes, but only Za...

You could throw Dobbs Peak in as well.

Oh no!!!! Another death march?

Yeah totally. And if the conditions are pretty good, I think we could do it in a day. Get there early, hike in by headlamp. Summit the col and head back down. It would be pretty epic, but not too bad I think. Yes, it would be epic if we went in on same trail, summited and returned same day. It's li...

I've never been on this trail. Nice pictures. I think I will try it soon.

Yoskolo (Alex), Zach (Zach), and myself (David) had been tossing around the idea of attacking one of our local peaks during rigorous conditions, to test both our physical and mental fortitude. After tossing around several ideas, peaks, and routes, we finally decided late this past Wednesday on San G...

Guess I'm not going. Blown brakes, need to rebuild calipers this weekend if it stops raining. Note to anyone reading: If buying a Nissan and you plan to drive it hard, all the time, get the best brakes you can. (IE Brembo's with the Z33 Track model) How about "not buying a Nissan". :lol: ...

Sounds like a cool little get together. Toobad i was raining at Manker Flat. Looks like everyone was in good spirits though.

You're weird, but that's pretty cool. I didn't know you video'd it.

Lets do the collective snow dance! It's time to ski the bowl.... I'd be up for that. Except I'll have my snowboard. If you don't mind others tagging along, keep me posted. Going up tomorrow evening (Friday) and coming down Sat. Not sure how far we will go up the ski hut trail. It all depends on how...

Where would one park over night so as to minimalize the possibility of auto break in? Maybe a certain "person" on this site may be able to let us in past the locked gate so we can ditch the cars back there and avoid the possible "break in". Maybe I can convince this certain "...

I think denny's would cover it.

Rick - cool pics. I dig Photo #6074. The rocks look gnarly and the leash on your axe is almost blowing straight out. I hope to be there sometime early April if everything goes well between now and then. Thanks for sharing. By the way, I've been looking on Summitpost for other Alpine style climbs loc...

On Saturday, Lilbitmo, Taco, Zach, Yoskolo and myself did a little hike on East Fork to the Bridge to Nowhere to do a little recon for Lilbitmo's "Death March" hike. We were basically looking for easy descent routes from Iron Mountain to the river and back up west side to gain either Ratte...

Brian - Nice TR. Looks like you and your GF had a really good time. No worries about making the summit. Sometimes, the pleasure comes from what happens on the way to the summit. And it sounds like you and your girl experienced a lot of great things - practiced self arresting, snow shoeing, crampon u...

Only for the unemployed? How they know you unemployed?

R u posting TR or just going to let it lie?

Relax Kimosabi. I had to leave the office. I will post TR on Tuesday.

I like La Sportiva. Sizes run true to size. You would need to go to a specialty shop, like REI or A16 and get your foot measured properly. I'm a 10.5, but in European size, this is 43.5 or 44. I bought the 44 and they were perfect. I have the La Sportiva Karakoram. Not made anymore. I love them. But...

Has anybody heard of this before? Has anybody participated before?

Yes you have more description to this buttress, or yes it's the one I was asking about?

If it's the one I was asking about, you can't go unless I go.

Besides, I still have the beta when I was there 20 years ago. I think. Maybe. Kinda blurry, but sort of remember.

I'm just giving you a hard time Taco. We know you can handle it. But, There's some of us, who can't! Maybe. Sort of.

Alex - I would so much like to join ya, but $$$$ is tight. Especialyl when I still need to buy some shtuff for Shasta. Should be fun times though. In a couple months I'll be taking there mini alpine camp. I sort of got my priorities mixed-up though. I'm taking the mini alpine camp (which covers some...

So, would it be the "Death, Dumb Climb"?

Say uh, do you have more description where this shiny buttress may be?

I would, uh, be interested depending what day, er days.

And, uh, is it by any chance the peaks I was trying to describe to you previously? The one you can see from Hwy 39, as you approach the ORV area?

north face of San J!!!! Again? :) Wasn't aware you guys had done this already... sign me up for whatever's next. A Also, the term "death climb" scares me. :shock: Lets not hijack another thread. We should make a new post for the "Death Climb". But, with all of Taco's gear sold, ...

TacoDelRio wrote:I'd like to make a death climb of sorts if things shape up and end up being genuinely cold.

With no gear? Would be a death Climb.

MikeSash wrote:Thats Rick alright on casaval. Not an oxygen mask haha! Looks like a headlamp. Badass photo by Miguel.

Ah, yes - headlamp. Looks like an oxygen mask, especially with those straps on top of th epack that look like tubes.

Bada$$ photo.

Little heads up. This "half death march" hike might be off this weekend. Rain and snow is expected.

WooHoo!!!!

Actually, the hike in those conditions might make it even nicer.
