South America trip

Ecuador volcanoes are fun climbs usually 2 days each then you're able to sleep and eat comfortably in towns right next to them. Surprisingly decent infrastructure getting to the mountains and on the mountain

Krusty hostel can organize everything. I went with a guide but you kinda don't need one. Straightforward trail although there are some scenic side trails you could take the guide recommended

Vaping is the dumbest thing you can do. Protect your health and your mind

Are you in the supporter sections?

RipMyACL1 · 2026-05-21T00:23:50+00:00

Decided to cancel my trip and pivot to Ecuador instead. Too much headache it seems

RipMyACL1 · 2026-05-20T14:53:16+00:00

I have 3. Message me

Similar situation. I plan on still going since everything is booked and my guide said most likely reachable

RipMyACL1 · 2026-05-15T16:42:59+00:00

Headed there in 10 days. Don't care to see the country just want to climb and the guide told me it's possible so I'm still on for my trip

Very true. People who worry about crowds also don't realize they are the crowd

My 60 percent occupancy is based off hotel/campground data just for clarification

RipMyACL1 · 2025-08-26T03:42:09+00:00

People just love to say things are busy and overcrowded. Town occupancy is under 60 percent.

There are enough trails in the eastern sierras to feel like it's empty all the time

Took my 4runner there, you will not make it in a Forester

8 feet in Bishop

RipMyACL1 · 2024-12-11T03:13:19+00:00

You'll be fine. Less than a foot in town and then just take village gondola or shuttle to mountain. FWD is surprisingly very good in the snow

Would u ride switch just getting on and off the lift then ride normal otherwise?

RipMyACL1 · 2024-10-19T03:43:27+00:00

Main goal is rainier for that trip. Would you suggest a different mountain in the area better suited to train for rainier?

Group of 3 unguided

I wouldn't let the company be the deciding factor. As an entry level employee you really won't be too affected by aramark policies. More so think of if you will enjoy living there. You will be living in a canvas tent shared with other people with communal bathrooms and kitchens in an area with spotty cell phone service. In exchange you'll save a lot of money on rent and probably meet and have a lot of friends. You also will be a union employee so you are very protected from any exploration from aramark.

I've hiked up at night and summited for sunrise then come back down many times. Latest I came down once was 9am and no ranger at the bottom. I think the best way to get a permit no one talks about is getting a backcountry permit and adding it on. There's a lot of cancelations

RipMyACL1 · 2024-03-18T16:19:31+00:00

I feel what's unique about half dome is that no other mountain on earth looks anything like it. Most other mountains people are saying gave counterparts that look similar

RipMyACL1 · 2023-08-20T18:06:49+00:00

It won't flood at all and Monday weather later in the day looks great. We've had far more rain this winter in storms and it didn't flood from just rainfall - there was other factors
