EISPIRATEN

went up to san antonio falls on an epic 9 hour hike. not really though. :-) got some cool shots, definitely saw av/rockslide evidence, just like norma posted on her post. i took a few nice shots with the SLR. everything is here, as usual: http://pasadenahiker.wordpress.com/2011 ... nio-falls/

that sounds AWESOME!

lesper, what part did they not recommend? sturtevant to the top?

LOL!

May get out for a short one with my best man tomorrow, but that's the last long one for...well... at least til next week when we are on our honeymoon in st george, utah.

I got out with Jason (Illusive) today. We headed up Sturtevant, hit snow that required crampons around 4900,' and took the friendly Upper Winter Creek Trail down. Trail is pretty well, though UWC had some large down trees.

kahtoola stuff is so good. i just picked up some of their crampons. great hike, jason! we need to get out again, perhaps after the wedding next weekend (she prob wont let me get out too much before it )

That was a CLASSIC itinerary! I'm definitely going to try that sometime. If I get lazy, I might just skip the first four attempted destinations and head straight for Icehouse Canyon. HAHA! Nice, Sam. It was a good two days to make rookie mistakes... we all need those days... now I'm ready to start ...

got out to icehouse for a bit yesterday, after our trip to second lake in the eastern sierra was messed up by this weird late season storm. lots of fresh powder, lots of beautiful scenery...and lots of trees crashing and falling over all around us! craziness! not sure how to hyperlink the photos ind...

really cool photo.
I'd add bighorn peak between ontario and cucamonga. besides that it seems pretty good so far. wish i could help with the wide side but i dont know that area well either.

glycogen stores can be depleted extremely rapidly when using anaerobic metabolism. the ratio of glycogen / calories changes between anaerobic and aerobic. if there weren't other limiting factors that fatigue you when 'sprinting', you'd probably deplete glycogen stores in like 10 mins! if you were t...

more or less, yes. there could be other reasons for fatigue, but glycogen depletion is a biggie. even if you are going for a mile run, larger glycogen stores will make you feel like you have more energy (because you do) and you go at a faster pace (burn more glycogen anaerobically) because you have...

I just let Ze pull me in my carbon fiber wheelbarrow. LOL! This is becoming an interesting thread. It's cool to see how different things work for different people. Perhaps one reason I am a bit more intentional about my sports nutrition is that I do not consume dead animals (or live ones) and that ...

LOL! things would be ugly if caffeine was a diarrhetic

actually they've shown that caffeine does not dehydrate you. but it depends on context. I think they show that if you drink the same amount of liquid after drinking (coffee vs non), you have same hydration level. however my own experience says that perhaps you naturally drink less water after drink...

lol hj. fo's sister. haha. Sugar, sugar, and more sugar. And something to hold the sugar together. actually not quite. gatorade and a lot of other supplements, yes, but gu...no. http://asweetlife.org/sitefiles/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/GU-Energy-Gel-Nutrition-Only1.jpg i always try to get stuff tha...

(GU) It's the stuff dreams are made of.

Hammer Gel>>>>>>> Gu

Gu sucks. Gu has caffeine (some do) which dehydrates. Gu is gross.
Hammer is good tasting. Hammer is made up of puree. Hammer is wonderful.

Gu sucks.

hoping to be back at it in a few days, bill

i'd be in but just got toe surgery today... out for a few days

agreed. their shoes are great.
i bought the quests and have taken them on two hikes thus far... phenomenal! fit is similar to the XA pro ultra's but the sole is obviously much more durable and the strong midsole support makes a big difference.

thanks for posting this TR! i'm supposed to head up to south lake for a two nighter next week and this tr totally got me amped up for it. looks like you guys had a lot of fun!

LOL. next time say hey. im the only employee who is 6'4 (or taller) and who isn't asian.

ha, thanks taco. next time i'll say hey.

Lol.
Just realized I posted this in "news." Sorry, Taco, feel free to move to another category. Btw, there was a dude that looked like you in REI yesterday. Were you there?

its funny that even as a semi-newbie still, i know exactly what yall are talking about.

to anyone (especially ze, who i think may have some science bites to add...) just wondering if anyone on this board ever uses any supps for hiking/climbing/etc...? i've used a couple different ones in the past in the gym but don't really do much now... though recently i came across a bottle of power...

Hey Jason-
Looks like a great trip. Glad it worked out well! I am eager to get up there for a night or two soon.
peace.

thanks dav!
i love my xa pro trail runners, but i, too, have noticed they dont last super long. the quests have been through two hikes and are worn in nicely but holding up wonderfully. for the extra cash, i think they will last much longer than the trail runners. will keep you posted.

Got out to Manzanita Ridge via the Upper Winter Creek for just a quicky today. I'm sure everyone on here has done this hike so I'll spare the det's but they're on my blog if needed. No snow visible at all. The bees are out in full force at Manzanita (around that bench that always draws them) Has any...
