EISPIRATEN

Hey girlie,

Glad you had a good time, I was so happy to see pics of the summit.
Nice work.

Hey giga, any luck yet?

patricks route is a bit more detailed....i am still liking mine.

Giga....thanks for the 411 on the route. i will let the guys tell you the route, this would be my description: took the trail, crossed a river runs through it. ended up going around lake number 5 or 6. crossed another stream and started up the boulders. went up tagged the peak, came down walked acro...

I had a great deal of fun on this hike. Thanks to everyone for coming along and GigaMike for the good beta. The thing is, when I looked at the topos and kind of pulled the idea together, I was more concentrating on the total elevation gain than worrying about how many miles we'd have to hump. I thi...

Taco, if it's any consolation, I wasn't feeling so hot, either. sorry we missed you all up there.

Patrick mentioned you were up there, too bad we missed you tracie.

It was a great trip...topped out on my mileage...32 is the longest i have gone. it was so nice to get home and shower and sleep all day.
thanks again ryan, patrick and zach.

You should come with me up rattlesnake so we can establish mo...

Nice TR....this one was a ball buster but long awaited.

i don't want that in me...i would know if it were right? now i am panicking.

would i know if these bites were ticks and not other bites?

Elwood, i wasn't even thinking about tics i was eaten alive by other bugs, thats on top of the bruising.

Being a first timer I don't think i could have gone with a better group of people. Had such a great time-thanks to all for your patience as well.
Stocking up on arnica now for all the bruising....definitely worth it.

Dave GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Congrats my friend. what is the mileage doing the traverse?

Thanks Dave, much appreciated. 13 1/2 hours car to car. we lost time in the beginning due to really bad visibility. there wasn't really a trail to follow so we were going off of miguels skills of being up there 4 times before. We were also hoping to glissade down but the snow was too icy to do so, t...

I have to chime in here- every time i see your pic dave it makes me laugh, i just love it.

Great TR Zach attack, it was a great day on the mountain and great getting to climb with you my friend. Topping out at the PEAK was ALmost as good as sex. We can now both say we have topped out at miller and the peak.

thats the best one yet....love it.

Awesome TR and awesome pics.

Part Two- the snow As we approached the tongue of the snow we came across some odd random purple wickedly thorny vine running in and out of the rocks of the water. I mention this because it was just so out of place and something you would think to find in the desert vs right before the tongue of the...

Trip Report, Tina Style...lol This is a two parter, sorry, gotta work….keep in mind I am not a good trip reporter, but 17 hours deserved something. We started a little before 4am, got a later start than expected, without naming names, fergie was a bit late (but he had the proper cookies so we forgav...
