Anyone up for a quick escape to the peaks? I've got a NPS Pass, and room for one
or two
climbers at 40 mpg. Willing to repeat many Yosemite peaks, and about Mammoth as
well.
Can leave anytime to about Thursday. Camping and peak bagging, meals in
restaurants or as
you please.

From our friends at the AAC.  Check out July 20 - 22 event in Tuolumne...
 
Tom
 
Dear Sierra Nevada Section members,
Hope you are getting out in the mountains. As usual, lots to report, but most importantly a reminder about our next event…
The second annual TUOLUMNE/TIOGA CLIMB-MUNITY on JULY 20-22. There’s still time to sign up, and the great news is that we’ve been able to secure campsites in the Tuolumne Meadows Campground. Thanks to Linda McMillan for nailing this. Suffice it to say that this is but one example of the benefits of the great relationships Linda has built through her work on behalf of the AAC in Yosemite National Park. Cost is $10 for climbers under 29 years old, $15 for AAC members, $20 for non-members. Includes camping Fri and Sat nights and Sat night party with beer, wine and munchies. Email or call our fellow SNS member Tom Burch at tcburch@... or 415-302-0800 to reserve your spot!
Of course we’ve got lots more gatherings planned, and I’ve included the events calendar below. And now for reports on recent AAC and SNS events.
AAC TETON CLIMBERS CAMP. During the last week of June, a number of SNS members and I attended the AAC’s first Climbers Camp at the AAC Grand Teton Climbers’ Ranch. The AAC Board of Directors meeting was held on the 23rd at the start of the Camp, and Black Diamond and Skinny Skis (thanks to Jack and Pat Tackle) hosted a big beer and BBQ bash that evening that was also attended by many Exum and Jackson Hole Mountain Guides returning for the summer season. The Ranch was at its 64 person capacity most of the week. If you’ve not stayed at the Ranch or it’s been a while, go check it out. You won’t be disappointed. Ranch Manager Drew Birnbaum and crew are gracious hosts and run a smooth operation. The cabins are clean and in good working order. Great access to the Tetons, great community with other climbers, and hot showers, all for $8 a night! Check it out at http://www.americanalpineclub.org/pages/page/90. During the Camp, folks partnered up and headed out during the days for some of the classic Teton alpine rock routes like the Snaz in Death Canyon and Irene’s Arete in Garnet Canyon. Evenings featured more beer and BBQs and slide shows by Josh Wharton, Bean Bowers and Jim Donini. My usual climbing partner Tom Burch and I enjoyed doing a couple routes with AAC operations Director Charley Mace. The Camp was so much fun that before the end of the first weekend, there was much talk of repeating it next year. I sure hope so, and encourage you to attend! It’s worth it to see the Dinosaur Egg Toss competition (come to our Tuolumne event, and Ill fill you in).
CLASS 5 AFTER HOURS CLIMBING PARTY. On June 24th, the same evening as the first party at the Teton Climbers Camp, the Sierra Nevada Section hosted an after hours gathering with pizza, beer and of course climbing at Class 5 Climbing and Fitness in San Rafael. Thanks to SNS members Tia Maerz and Kristin Nute for organizing it and to Touchstone Climbing for donating the gym time. About 20 climbers attended, many interested in finding out about the AAC. We hope to do more of these events at gyms not only in the Bay Area, but throughout our Section’s geography. Want to organize one at your regular gym? Email or call me.
HALF DOME 50th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION. I’m hoping Linda McMillan will email us with the details, but from what I’ve heard (and read on SuperTopo), this gathering was well attended and a huge success. Half Dome Northwest Face first ascentionists Royal Robbins, Jerry Galwas, and Mike Sherrick were on hand to celebrate their landmark climb and made a special presentation as part of the AAC sponsored Yosemite Climbers Interpretative programs that occur each Saturday evening throughout the climbing season. What a great example of the promotion of climbing and preservation of its history that only the AAC can do. Congratulations and thank you to Royal and Linda. Bravo!
Upcoming events:
AUGUST 25-26: DONNER SUMMIT CLIMB-MUNITY II: Repeat performance from June. Great cragging, free camping, BBQ. Maybe Jim Donini will make a cameo appearance like last year.
SEPTEMBER 15-16: ROBBINS PINECREST CLIMB-IN: Royal and Liz Robbins and Tom Frost are once again hosting Sierra Nevada Section members and friends for cragging, camping and a party at Pinecrest in the Sonora Pass area.
SEPTEMBER 26-30: YOSEMITE FACELIFT: Last fall, many SNS members helped out Ken Yeager and the Yosemite Climbers Association's tremendous clean up effort. This year, the AAC and the Sierra Nevada Section plan to have a larger presence and offer greater support to this fine grass roots initiative.
EARLY NOVEMBER: "FALL HIGHBALL," BISHOP. Stay tuned for the final dates. We will repeat this event from last fall, where we will enjoy the great bouldering and cragging near Bishop, with a party, slide show, and fundraiser for Eastside climbing conservation efforts Saturday night at Mill Creek Station.
EARLY DECEMBER: ANNUAL SIERRA NEVADA SECTION HOLIDAY DINNER, BAY AREA. We’re looking at changing things up a bit this year with the location and format (no decision yet), but we’ll still have lots of food and spirits, a priority on making it easy for folks to catch up with friends and make new ones, and a slide show from a luminary in the climbing world. We’re also planning a silent auction. Stay tuned for more details, and contact me if you want to help organize it!
Hope to see you at one of our SNS gatherings. Please email or call me for info about any of our events or activities, with feedback or offers to help, or just to say hello. I want to hear from you.
Good climbing,
Dave Riggs

I've decided to replace my ancient mountaineering tent and I'm trying
to decide between the Go Lite Hex 3 or the Black Diamond Megemid lite.
Both are roughly the same size, same price ($235 base $300 w/floor),
same options, same weight (3lbs or 4.5 with floor).  Does anyone know
of any details that would tip the scale one way or the other?

Now, add this to the mix.  I have a line on a barely used Black
Diamond Skylight package (3 person Bibler style) for about $350
weights about 5+ lbs.

Your perspective will be appreciated.

Hi MP,
The $12 Allweather Space Blanket that I started using 25 years ago and influenced
the SPS, CMC and others to use is now standard. As you know It reflects 80% heat/sun and is waterproof. It serves as a great backup.
I also use the $88 REI 16 oz. Minimalist Bivysac and like it very much.
For 30 years, I used an 7x9 nylon tarp until I found a North Face single wall 3+ lb. tent for
a "reasonable" price..
Best,
Steve

Hi mp5of8,
 
I have a ultra-light Mountain Hardwear Waypoint - light and easy to set up, but would not recommend it except for happy summer evenings.
 
Check out the Big Agnes Seedhouse series.  Hard to beat.
 
Always have a footprint with these new lightweight jobs.

There is also the Montbell Gore-tex bivy sack for 7oz you might want to
look into. Super-ultralight and smaller than a coke can. I used it
recently on my thru-hike of Roper's Sierra High Route w/o resupply and
it performed really well.

Hi all,

I just wanted to let everyone know I got back safely from the doing a
thru-hike of Roper's Sierra High Route without resupply.  195 miles and
most of it is off trail. I finished the route in 11 days 13 hours and
17 minutes.  I stated on Sunday July 8 at 7:43am with 12 lbs of organic
raw vegan food (sun-dried fruits and nuts) and less than 5 lbs gear,
for a total starting pack weight of 17 lbs. I climbed 5 peaks along the
way, and hiked from 12 to 14 hours per day. I had a beautiful journey,
and saw 2 bears, lots of deer, one spotted fawn, rabbits, ptarmigans,
grouse, mice, pika, marmots, and lots of flowers, and pristine meadows
and lakes on the x-country route. I finished the route last Thrusday,
July 19 at 9pm in Twin Lakes above Bridgeport, CA.
This was an experiment in minimalism while maximizing on the energy of
raw vegan foods. No bear canister, no tent, no stove, no water filter,
no soap, no mosquito repellant, no problems !!!

peace&love,

Adrian Stingaciu

no soap, no mosquito repellant, no problems !!!

peace&love,

Adrian Stingaciu

I lost about 10 lbs in 12 days. Ate about 11 lbs of food the entire
route, less than 1 lb a day. Had enough energy to hike 10-12 hours per
day. I bonked out only once on the route, the day after I did 23 miles
on 10 oz of food ration. After that I increased food intake as much as
I needed and felt great!

Here's some pictures from the route.

If anyone is interested in details, a trip report can be found here,
should be the 6th report down.

It's time for the monthly RR meeting again.  This month Megan Delehanty will be showing slides from her attempt on Everest from North Side.  Anna Sommer has bravely offered to host the meeting at her place in Berkeley.  Also as usual at the meeting we get to talk climbing, recruit partners, and generally pretend that climbers have social lives.  Don't forget to bring food and drinks to share.

Who: YOU!
What: RR monthly meeting
When: August 7, 7:00 p.m.
Where: 617 60th St

This should be a great slide show so don't miss it

Directions:

So the place is pretty easy to find.  If you're doing the public transit thing, take BART to Ashby, walk down Woolsey St. towards Shattuck, turn right on Shattuck and walk until you hit 60th St.  I'm the white house with blue trim; street number is 617.  Folks can call 617-838-9910 if they are lost.  Driving directions are probably easiest by just googling them from wherever you're starting from.
