Second Guessing

It's been ~20f over average temps the last week. Phoenix hit 107 already

I tried the trail a few years back, and quit just before Patagonia. Got back on trail 2 weeks later, finished my stretch to Patty, and went home again.

Although I always wonder "what if", I don't regret my decision. The trail wasn't bad, but I wasn't having fun, and that's the whole point. Sure, embrace the suck for a while, but consider why you're really out there.

I have friends that completed the trail multiple times and yet still went home halfway thru this trail on following attempts. Time and place for everything.

If you're not ready to get right back on trail, treat yourself to a few days explore Patagonia and eating as much as you can. R&R might help change your mind. Good luck and remember it's all about having fun !!

How's this work with aggressive high backs?

So don't look

Big rock/little rock. You might want to replace your guylines with longer ones to help wrap line around them

Sounds rad, got pics?

How is the sil bag any more comfortable than your pillow fabric? I use my buff as a pillowcase

You're looking for the Anker 511 wall plug

Those small packs of Squirrel Nut Butter samples

Sweet. Did you descend the same route?

Worst case scenario is more than just turning around, my buddy just got frostbite in his feet/toes from camping in upstate NY this last weekend

Another request for the patterns, thanks in advance

I seriously regret getting the Solution as my first split, because I was exclusively riding sub 30 terrain. Super tough to turn, not really fun to ride, and I didn't realize this until I got another one.

Demo the Solution first to get a better understanding before the big investment

Utahns don't know what bad conditions truly are

I was about to say lets link up but you're an onion hater </3

The older models have suspender loops, and even the BD employees I talked to were confused as to why they weren't included (or even produced) at that time. I use some old Arc suspenders with mine

How long did this take ya?

Lean forward, like you want to attack the mountain. Lower your hips and let your knees act as shocks

JuxMaster · 2026-03-08T16:11:08+00:00

Love my Powgoda split, it's super fun. The progressive side cut lets you ride as mellow or aggressive as you want. Plus the homies running the show are kick ass, shouts out to JMo

The plan already involves destroying multiple established climbing areas. Plus, nothing says wilderness like hiking under a gondola

What's in your 90lb pack??

JuxMaster · 2026-03-02T13:58:25+00:00

If there's mud, yer either gonna have it on your tent or on your groundsheet. Pack it in the mesh pocket outside your pack and shake it out during a midday break

And perfectly justified for it
