Re: Alamo mountain the easy way

Noice. A shame about the complicated access. Is there another angle to attack it from where you don't have to worry about tickets and red tape?

Re: Climbing map

I'm curious how it would look. I like the idea of having stuff on here that isn't just a forum, but pages with information, know what I mean? Web pages. I don't have the time to put effort into it even if I knew how, though. I am too busy with life.

I prefer not to use mountainproject. I ...

Re: The 3rd-annual moonlight baldy winter climb

I’ve followed the ridge proper the whole way to the top of Harwood in winter a few times. We considered it but I didn’t think it was wise given how crappy I felt and other factors like the unconsolidated snow, small cornices, and high wind at night.

Taco's Alpine Touring Bike Project

I intend for this to be a thread I update as I build and improve this project.

I want a bike that I can go nearly anywhere with, simply and reliably, while also being lightweight enough to pick up, push, pull, carry under my arm, carry on my back, and all the sorta crap you gotta do with a bike in ...

Re: The 3rd-annual moonlight baldy winter climb

I set off from Best Cocina around 0945 to meet Dima in Claremont around noon. I had my mtb (Trek 1120) with my boots, crampons, axe, and other mountaineering jazz in my bags strapped to the bike, and took it easy. One thing I really like about these Baldy Full Moon trips is waking up late. You don't ...

Re: Entire ANF temporarily closed

No, I don't think it's warranted. It's government overreach. On top of that, it's overreach mandated by people who don't know a damn thing about nature.

Right on. Was that the day with the huge avalanche caught on video?

I played hide and seek with the DWA guys once near the bottom. We made it up onto the isthmus before they saw us.

20240901 White Mtn Peak from Bishop

A few years back, Dima and I rode up to the top of White Mtn Peak from Grandview campground above 8,000ft. Clearly, the pure way to do it would be to ride from the lowest realistic point, that being either Big Pine (a lot of pavement), or Bishop (nearly all dirt). I took my gravel bike last time ...
