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

A popular backpack in the Sierra is the Rae Lakes loop from Zumwalt meadow. I did it last year with a group that went 'clockwise'.
We spent our third night in 60 lakes Basin. That day, I tried to climb
Mt C. K. but found myself lacking and had to settle for Mt Cotter.
    During our second day's hike,
I observed the creek exiting Gardiner Basin and decide that would
be the 'hard way'. After going up there, I would head south to the Gardiner pass.
   Tentative start: 8/22

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.

gus_yates
Send Email Send Email
 
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,

I have had the pleasure a couple times.

Yes, there are several opportunities to camp btw the trailhead and pass - when you cross water, look around for cleared spots.


Have a great trip!

At least two areas for camping, on a third of the way down and another a little more than halfway.  It is no more or less an ankle twister than other rocky Sierra passes, however it is twice as long so twice as many opportunities x the fatigue factor....Have you ever tried to stop teenagers or (or many adults for that matter) from making it to the car when it is close enough to see?  

With that in mind there are many (fairly exposed campsites just west of the pass, as in a half mile from the top.  

Enjoy

I've done it as well, but it was in winter and I think the camping options were probably a bit different.  :-)  As I recall, we camped in a bowl around 9.600'.  It was -5 F that night!  It was a good place to be then and I suspect it might be a good location in snow-less conditions.

Can't speak for the actual trail up higher (the lower trail was fine IMHO), but I found the journey an enjoyable trip up and down.

On the way down, there's a cinder cone out near the 395 you can watch go from minuscule to towering.  

Come to think of it, the most bone jarring part for me was the drive from the trailhead down that road to the 395! :-)

Good luck!

Hello all,
Helping the AHF get the word out to the climbing and adventure communities.  I go every year.  It's a great dinner, good community, and a rare chance to get dressed up with other climbers for a good cause.  The tickets are steep at $200, but the portion above and beyond the cost of the dinner is tax deductible (they send you a receipt for your records later). 
If you'd like to sit with me and my peeps (we will have showered, I promise), ask to be seated at my table.
Climb safe!
-Em

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

i guess this is all a matter of interpretation.
 
can one free solo while climbing safe?  one could say "yes - i don't free solo drunk or during rain-storms", or one could argue that free soloing and safety are anathema to each other to stat with, and thus incompatible.
 
the same could be said about crevasse-hopping while alone and without any form of belay, where survival depends on zero accidents happening, because the activity is in itself inherently dangerous.
 
personally i think you are lucky to be alive, mainly based on the crevasse being narrow enough to have enabled you to arrest your fall before you got in too deep.  slightly different conditions and you would now be on your way to being a human popsicle.

Marek,

 

I’m glad you survived to tell us this story. Each man’s sense of acceptable risk is his alone. Even in the most mundane of tasks, accidents can occur. I’m reminded of the story of Stickeen by John Muir, chronicling an adventure he had with his friend’s dog on an Alaskan Glacier. Where some may have read the story and shouted “you fool”, others read it with awe, respect, and a deeper understanding of the man that has made such an impact on our world. It sounds to me like you are looking back on it with sobering judgment, evaluating where things went south, as a good mountaineer should, from the over confidence/under estimation of the jump to the decision to be ambiguous about your itinerary. I think we can all learn something about ourselves from your adventure. Thank you for sharing this story.

 

It is a sober reminder to me that the mountain can be a very cathartic place on a solo adventure and it can also be the most unforgiving.

 

Welcome back,

 

Bill

Send Email Send Email
 

Not sure he’ll bring the golden ice axe with him, but Piolet d’Or winner STEVE SWENSON will present a multimedia show entitled “Climbs in the Karakoram including film presentation of “The Old Breed – The First Ascent of Saser Kangri II" at 7:30 PM on Sunday, December 2 at Spenger's Fish Grotto in Berkeley. The show is part of the American Alpine Club's Sierra Nevada Section Holiday Dinner. Everyone is welcome to attend, and you can join us for the dinner and show or just the show. Dinner requires an RSVP and prepayment by November 25. For the show only option, you can pay at the door. For those attending the dinner, cocktail hour will start at 5 PM followed by a buffet dinner. Steve's presentation will begin at 7:30, and for those coming just for the show, doors will open at 7:15. Steve's talk will be followed by a raffle with some cool prizes. 

Steve Swenson is the immediate past president of the AAC and has been climbing for 44 years. Among his long list of hard climbs of big mountains, Steve has made ascents of the North Ridges of both K2 and Mt. Everest without supplemental oxygen, the latter solo. His show will focus on his 30 plus years of climbing in the Karakoram, where, in addition to K2, he has also climbed, the Mazeno Ridge on Nanga Parbat, and Latok 2. In 2011, along with Mark Richey and Freddie Wilkinson, Steve made the first ascent of Saser Kangri II in the Eastern Karakoram. At 7518 meters, SK II was the second-highest unclimbed mountain in the world at the time. Their alpine style ascent was awarded a 2012 Piolet D’Or. The film documenting the climb - “The Old Breed,” which Steve will show, is a finalist at this year’s Banff Mountain Film Festival.

interested in doing a long week ( 9 or so days) of ice in late Feb/early March.
Finishing up a contract for the NSF in Antarctica, so not up to date on
conditions.
Based out of Reno, so anything reasonably close would work; Sierras, Elko/
LaMoille canyon, Salt Lake, etc.
Plan B
It would be great to get up to speed on using all those AID thingies;
hooks,beaks,heads,balls, etc.
I'll be back in early Feb, dates are flexible, and can be reached at:
