Hey folks -

Sorry for the short notice. I have two spare permits available for the North
Fork of Lone Pine into the Whitney Zone, up to 4 nights, entry date next
Thursday, May 31.  I plan to just peak-bag with a buddy.  You are welcome to
join us, or if you got a partner feel free to do what you want.

I've been trying to repay a favor ever since Tom got me up there four years
back.  Drop a line if you might be interested.  Hope to see some of you this
summer.

Thanks,

-Joe

Jack,

for how many days do you plan to be out? I would be interested
depending on time. We have not met before, I think. I climb with the
Loma Prieta Peak Climbing section, do some mountaineering as well.
Generally, I am of the slow and steady hiker category, not too fast on
the trail but can go for many hours without issues.

I wonder if there is anyone interested in climbing Shasta this year. I've done
it three times so far (2xCR & N side) and intend to do it at least a couple
times a month till the late fall.

Near plans: June 16-17 Sargents Ridge (Konwakiton Gl); 23-24 Wintum Gl.

Also I'm planning a road trip to Adams, Rainier, etc., if you are interested.

Anyone interested in doing a weekend trip to go climbing somewhere? I am
originally from Europe, have climbed pretty long time, have limited gear here
and would like to do some safer climbs in the range of 5.8 - 5.10

 

I am planning a southern Sierra backpacking trip in a couple of weeks will end with a descent of the Taboose Pass trail. It has a notorious reputation as one of the big ugly east side passes, so I was thinking of breaking up the descent by camping partway down.

Does anyone know if there are any points along the trail between the pass and the trailhead where camping might be feasible?

Also, I heard a rumor that sections of the trail cross ankle-twisting, cobblestone-sized rocks. True? For what distance?

My party will include a bunch of 13-15 year-olds, and I don't want them to have too miserable a time.....

Thanks for the beta,

Gus Yates

Looking for partner(s).

I arrive in Argentina on the 4th, and depart the 25th. I am interested in
talking with anyone who might want to join.

I last went in 2007 and turned around at 16,500' as my partner wasn't doing
well.

Send me an email if you want to discuss.

Indeed I was in trouble this time because I was completely in solitude and got
stuck in a narrow icy crag and could not get out. It happened on Friday, Sept
14, 2012. Here is how it happened if you car to read:

Climb Safe

Marek

so does "Climb Safe" have a new meaning for you now?

No. That phrase I've been using for years. But if I did not climb safe I would
have been dead long time ago. Mountaineering is a dangerous activity and you
never know, no matter how much you anticipate, when the bad thing might happen.
That's why people die from time to time. My greatest mistake in this case was
overconfidence, not lack of proper skill or equipment. And I need to work on
that because I am usually very cautious in the mountain.

Thank you for you question

My car can't read, by the way, though I've been training it for decades.
