Hi club, this is "Mrs. Morgan" aka Kim.<br>Thank you Bob for the virtual gifts -- I like them, so much that we even have some of them! Very funny descriptions,...
Greetings Kim -<br><br>Up in northern Yosemite last week the snow conditions weren't too bad above about 9000' once things warmed up. It seemed pretty good in...
Ok, this wasn't actually a peak, but it was highly fun all the same. If you've ever read Muir's story about climbing the ice cone at the base of Upper Yosemite...
Ok, this time we have actual peaks climbed, but they weren't in the Sierras. They weren't even in California, but rather in Utah when I went there last month ...
I initially tried to check these pics on a day when xoom was down, so I first saw them this morning -- looks like a blast! In my own mind, I'm officially...
> Is anyone familiar with the "manure pile" in Yosemite? <br><br>That's the one Michael and I climbed at the end of February (See post #303). It has a...
> Also, it's the most fun you'll have<br>> buying outdoor gear.<br><br>I agree! I recently picked up a new harness and I tried it out in the store by ...
"His mind collapsed slowly as his body went through the motions of living. The system began closing down, rationalising away the luxuries of digits and limbs...
Hi, just found out about this site, I only read the last few posts. I'll catch up later. <br><br>If you're looking for skiing (or snowboarding), Mammoth still...
I think I recognize one of the pics. It's looking down on Michael (red helmet), with a tree down below him. I remember that we scrambled up to that tree and ...
This is a great club. A ringleader and five or six elves who post random things once in a while. Bob's (snwburd) and other peoples' strange humor make it more...
Despite being refered to as an elf by Morgan, I will post anyway. I finally got around to writing up a report and getting together some photos from my trip to ...
I figured you would classify as the original elf since you've actually SEEN snwburd climb! As for climbing Matterhorn, I expect it was easier in the winter ...
abdbfan,<br><br>Check out the "Contacts"; section. There are at least 4 members that are from So. Cal and have their email addresses listed. Unfortunately, most...
I went to an interesting talk last night, given by a USGS guy who's written a book called "Exploring the High Sierra." It's basically an early history of the...
Of all the early climbers/scramblers in the Sierras, John Muir has seemed to me to be the nuttiest. He seemed to have had little concern for getting himself ...
PRprincess,<br><br>Your best bet is to find a local climbing gym to find some local folks interested in the sport. They can probably find some others to hook...
Last weekend we took a dayhike up Mount Saint Helena, which is at the head (north) of Napa Valley. Tallest peak in Sonoma County (4300'+). The trailhead takes...
Hi Morgan,<br><br>I love Mt St Helena. It sits dark and brooding at the north end of Napa Valley, kind of dominating the skyline. And the summit is often above...
A second attempt to climb Dicks Peak as a dayhike is in the works for May 12. This time I've recruited Mark to join me for the all day hike-fest into ...
Michael,<br><br>Hey, you're in luck -- I didn't actually "bag" this peak, since I *did* take the spur trail. We saw the fork in the road, and we were in kind ...
