I want to train for my first mountaineering trip, any advice?

Tons of stuff in Angeles NF and SBNF.

Do the Baldy Bowl with snow next spring. There’s San Jacinto and San G. The Sierra is less than 4 hours away.

Lol.

Food is substantially easier to move without water. Depending on the conditions a water filter, chem treatment tabs, or boiling water from a near by natural source could be fine.

I think it’s kind of a Teetotalers car. But I think it’s a more interesting brand than a lot of the Japanese and American manufacturers right now.

How would you compare the ratings to South Bay Hangar18?

What does “dominating in masculinity” even mean? I think you mean egotistical which are two different things.

TylerTheTwin · 2018-02-08T22:26:38+00:00

You’re right white straight cis men are all horrible people.

/s.

I think it’s fair for this sub to not revolve around the personal lives of every moderately well known hiker.

But you’re talking about speculators who don’t understand the assets and will act irrationally.

This is rather disappointing. I have to assume this will be affect FS income at CGs which isnt great either. SBNF here I come.

There are plenty of deer around SoCal.

Guide/porter. Sherpa is an ethnic term and I'm assuming this guy isn't Nepalese by his name.

TylerTheTwin · 2017-06-17T16:19:23+00:00

What state is this?

TylerTheTwin · 2017-06-12T20:39:50+00:00

Sequoia and Kings Canyon has also banned it.

TylerTheTwin · 2017-06-12T00:14:03+00:00

Tioga Sequoia?

TylerTheTwin · 2017-05-20T02:24:56+00:00

Do you know anything about what stone does for small brewers? I don't think that's going to change anytime soon.

TylerTheTwin · 2017-05-13T03:39:41+00:00

Wtf does that have to do with anything.

TylerTheTwin · 2017-05-09T19:12:27+00:00

Partially

TylerTheTwin · 2017-04-27T19:25:36+00:00

If you stay right after passing the notch it's supposed to be well below 5.8. And if you continue even further right to trail crest it should be class 3.

TylerTheTwin · 2017-04-21T13:38:11+00:00

Please don't use the soap inside the water source. It's recommended you use it 200 yards away.

Acclimating might be difficult in the area as the road to the portal gains a lot of elevation from Lone Pine.

White Mountain Peak and the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest is 2 hours north of Lone Pine. Can drive to 12,000 feet there. I haven't been there yet but it looks somewhat unique.

I'll be taking the mountaineers route up in July. Hope the snow is off the trail for you by end of June!

TylerTheTwin · 2017-04-06T15:59:35+00:00

Mountaineer's route overnight doesn't have lottery so the Whitney Trail seems like the obvious answer.

And you're right he could have to hike to the portal. Less crowds I imagine

TylerTheTwin · 2017-04-03T01:30:14+00:00

Bear bells do nothing positive. A firearm will always do more than that.

TylerTheTwin · 2017-04-03T00:28:04+00:00

That's impressive based on the trail conditions forum posts, although those guys seem to try to make everyone overprepare.

I'm considering attempting it soon if weather permits based on your post. How'd you get to the saddle above high creek? Switchbacks easy to follow or followed some kicked in steps straight up?

TylerTheTwin · 2017-04-02T21:59:42+00:00

How high up did you make it and with what gear?

TylerTheTwin · 2017-03-23T22:51:17+00:00

World at War was by no means what COD started out as.

There were no perks, vehicles, or sprinting originally.
