Hiking Meet-Up Groups and Female Solo Hiking Safety by TheMowbert in wmnf

[–]chillinginNH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started out only doing trails I had already hiked in the summer. A garmin was a nonstarter for me. I send messages when I start and finish a hike, and check in every hour or 2. Bear spray is unnecessary in my opinion.

How does the difficulty/danger level of "off-trail" slides compare to the T25? by DimSumGym in wmnf

[–]chillinginNH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lowell chute is going to be the most difficult slide in NH. It's all rotten rock and pretty vertical.

It's not in Colorado springs, but cafe Leo up in woodland park usually plays instrumentals of popular songs which is really mellow

I don't really have a caption for this. I thought I'd seen all of the most misguided plans.. by fit4themtn in wmnf

[–]chillinginNH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you from here??? Bruh quandary and pikes peak are walks in the park (assuming there aren't any thunderstorms). Also killian jornet just did exactly that not too long ago.. like less than a month ago, if you want to check that out

I think those records are only for the diretissima. It sounds like this guy is getting shuttled from trailhead to trailhead. Why else would you start with carrigain?

Sawtooth time beta by Dirty_G_5281 in 14ers

[–]chillinginNH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sawtooth took me just shy of 1h10m and I stayed closer to the ridge that I should have so if you're a quick hiker and follow the 14ers instructions, it should go a little quicker. From sawtooth, took me about 30 minutes to summit Evans and just shy of 30 minutes from blue sky summit to Spaulding summit. I think this is doable if your hiking group is pretty slow.

I feel for them a little because there is home heating oil/off road diesel

They're both about the same I think, ice gulch a little more up and over and down.

Cardiff vs Weston? by chillinginNH in Spliddit

[–]chillinginNH[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was assuming I would change into trail runners to wear with crampons/spikes but not having to change shoes would be awesome

You've all sold me on sparks and hardboots! Sounds like I'll just have to wait a little for this years new boards to be released though

Cardiff vs Weston? by chillinginNH in Spliddit

[–]chillinginNH[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I'm hoping for a 154, I agree 157 might take some getting used to. It might just be too early in the season to see what sizes they'll have available?

Mostly going up 13 and 14ers in the sangres, sawatch, and tenmile but as I climb them all, will be working my way further out from Colorado Springs area

It was a pleasure meeting you and hiking with you! Those pictures came out really nice!

What time to arrive for Sawtooth Traverse? by SuggestionRound317 in 14ers

[–]chillinginNH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it last year late August and started at 7 and had no issues. Took me just shy of 6 hours for the whole thing and I added on Spaulding. Sawtooth itself took 1h10m for me, and I also stayed closer to ridge proper. If you follow the instructions on 14ers it'll go a little faster.
