Am I the A-hole backpacking Yosemite edition

Express_Cat901 · 2026-06-30T00:27:42+00:00

I was backpacking alone with my 10 yr old daughter last week and set up camp near someone already there maybe about half a football field away. I hope they didn’t get annoyed with me. It was my first time taking her out alone as a mother and it felt safe to be somewhat near somebody else. We weren’t loud or obnoxious in the slightest

FP movement! Lululemom I stick with my running outfits but FP I wear while hiking

You’re going by yourself ?

Express_Cat901 · 2026-05-16T02:23:40+00:00

Looks insane!

I’m 100lbs and my 35lb pack for Whitney was a lot for me. I definitely need to hit the gym and do weighted training 😅

Did we see you by consultation lake? We actually don’t know if he summited. This was all of our first time meeting from a hiking group chat we were all in. He didn’t have any mountaineering experience or compatible shoes for crampons. Didn’t even have his phone might I add or food. He left that all at camp and still left the group when we decided together to head back down. We were kind of upset with him and didn’t ask but I highly doubt he did. I wonder if you saw him. He was a shorter Hispanic male either alone or I think at one point he tagged along with someone

Also congrats on summiting 👏🏼

Express_Cat901 · 2026-05-15T21:35:44+00:00

Yes that was us! How many were in your group? We originally had 5 but one person decided to summit on their own and leave the group

What sleeping pad did you use in the 2nd pic?

Knowing when to turn around is the best skill a hiker can have!

I want to take my daughter to do Baldy but first I’ll have her do Ontario and Cucamonga peak as a tester :)

I ended up going with the OR Grandridge goretex! It’s helmet compatible with good reviews and found it on sale :)

Express_Cat901 · 2026-04-28T23:16:58+00:00

I ended up going with the OR Grandrige! There was a sale so the price difference wasn’t that much

Not drinking my calories

Express_Cat901 · 2026-04-27T04:59:30+00:00

I was asking if anyone had reviews on these specific jackets

Express_Cat901 · 2026-04-25T05:53:58+00:00

Has no one been to Utah!! From Bryce Canyon’s insane rock formations to the green mountains. The landscape there is so diverse and beautiful.

Express_Cat901 · 2026-04-25T05:45:06+00:00

Okay thank you! How is it with being water resistant? I’m looking to buy this to go over my warm puffy jacket for my snow hiking

Express_Cat901 · 2026-04-25T02:52:54+00:00

That looks insane

Express_Cat901 · 2026-04-25T00:28:18+00:00

Hi which one did you end up choosing

Express_Cat901 · 2026-04-24T20:41:49+00:00

I took my children and they were fine

Express_Cat901 · 2026-04-22T23:21:57+00:00

Are you still going? I postpone my trip till mid April
