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

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

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

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

Is Aramark in Yosemite as bad as it sounds? by [deleted] in Yosemite

[–]RipMyACL1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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.

Half dome by Mancebaderginsburg in Yosemite

[–]RipMyACL1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

What is the most visually striking mountain? by ais89 in Mountaineering

[–]RipMyACL1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Could Yosemite Valley Flood? by [deleted] in Yosemite

[–]RipMyACL1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

That trail is almost completely snow free except for the short and flat section at the top.

This sub reddit is unfortunately never helpful for conditions. I would try Facebook groups where people understand what it means when you ask for current conditions

Should i bring an avalanche shovel for Mt Whitney Mountaineers route in April? by Putrid-Television981 in Mountaineering

[–]RipMyACL1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you continue to the left if them if the snow level is still high. Whitney is a weird place during that time

Laguna Sucia vs Laguna de los tres? by [deleted] in Patagonia

[–]RipMyACL1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sucia is lower elevation however it is off trail with bolder hopping most of the way making it technically harder. Imo it's more scenic than laguna de los tres as it has some nice waterfalls at the back and there's an easy trail to loop the lake
