... I think you'll be O.K. this time of year. In another year, in June, there was no snow at all. There is another faster route, more to the right (north),...
If you manage to get any photos of the north couloir, or of any of the chutes on the north face of Mt. Thompson they would be highly appreciated :) (yes, it's...

I thought this may be of interest to many of you who camp/backpack in the Bubbs Creek/Kearsarge Lakes region. There is a smart and aggressive bear lurking in...
That bear is a genius.. many humans can't figure out how to open a BearVault, so I'd give him (or her) an A+ for the Kearsage University summer semester...
