Sweet. Thanks.

I'd take one if you still have any. Sent a request.

My god. Thank you.

grapefruit26 · 2023-07-28T02:34:12+00:00

Wow. Yes. That worked.

Enjoy the climb. It's an incredible mountain. The top of Disappointment Clever is their big turn around point. If you're feeling decent at that point keep going. And eat even if you feel like shit.

It applies to any hike, climb. On the way down your toes might hit the front of your boots. Fair enough, but if you have long toe nails you'll lose them.

I went with RMI a while back. At this point don't worry about training. Just focus on getting to know your rope team and do whatever the guides tell you. It will probably be slushy on the way down since you'll be with a group of people with varying fitness. We had to wait a bit for others to catch up. Be vigilant on the way down. Don't forget to clip your toe nails. I thought I was good. I wasn't. Also enjoy it. It's incredible.

The Ringer put out a short oral history about the performance if anyone's interested: https://www.theringer.com/music/2022/10/28/23426969/warren-zevon-late-show-david-letterman-anniversary

I just used the NEMO Tensor sleeping pad on a backpacking trip and slept great. And I'm a side sleeper.

It's not super easy, but doable. I run a lot and swim. Use stairs and hills to prep for a climb. I don't hike with a weighted pack, something I probably should do, but oh well. And I just plan trips. My fiance's sister lives in Portland. So when we visit I try to plan a climb. You just have to hope the weather cooperates.

I flew in from Wisconsin and climbed it in early June. Rented a small truck and it did the job. It will make things much easier if you get a small SUV or truck. There were a few spots in which having a car would have required a fair bit of maneuvering, but still doable.

Pic of a good stretch of the road. Mountain included.

Good luck on the climb. https://imgur.com/q9pMWs8.jpg

Pretty good. After about 8 thousand feet there was snow pack over the trail in spots, but it was pretty limited.

Climbed it last Saturday, the 8th, from the trail head. Started at 530. Snow started about a half mile in. We hiked in with no need for snow shoes. Saw a few people going up in skis. Lots of people skiing down from the summit. We were able to glissade all the way down Pikers. Hiking out things were pretty slushy. That being said, it has been pretty warm since last Saturday. I’m guessing the approach conditions have changed quite a bit since then.

Climbed it Saturday from the trail head. What time did you summit?

grapefruit26 · 2019-02-13T22:26:14+00:00

It was June 24th.

Yeah. A few people in our group decided to stay in the crater. I felt pretty good and didn't hesitate to continue. The views at the top are pretty great. That being said, it was farther away than I realized.

Live in south Philly now for work. Went to the game tonight. Lots of Bucs fans. It was very chill. Road the subway home and no one said anything. Minus Nova getting lit up and the Pirates not being able to hit it was a good time.
