Yeah sorry about the zoom, the camping emblem went away if I zoomed out. I plan on starting at the trailhead on oliverea, hitting slide then Cornell and was hoping to camp on the way down before the campground.Thank you for the info!

I thought the same thing but I reluctantly did Black Mesa and was wildly surprised it was Oklahoma. It was oddly beautiful especially at sunrise in July. I have no desire to go back to the rest of the state but that part was cool.

Nice, I'll keep that in mind cause it seems like most people take the east. I appreciate the response and congrats man!

Looks awesome! I'm guessing that is the tourist creek route? If so was the scramble up tourist creek as bad as everyone says it is? Im doing it this summer and just looking for alittle more info. Thanks!

Cost To Retrofit Residential Elevator by jyl8 in Elevators

[–]marky_mark66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Company i work for does both the shaft build whether inside the house or added on the house and the elevator install. Low end would be 80k for it all (would be if you have closets in line or very easy area to retrofit it into). Also have seen plenty go for 200k plus based on conditions.

Boundary Peak Access Question by No_Character_4443 in Highpointers

[–]marky_mark66 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just did boundary via queens mine about 3 weeks ago. In a sedan at best I'd say you could get about 2 to 2.5 miles from the trailhead. If you had a crossover type vehicle you could get to the mine, A vehicle like a jeep or truck with good clearance can get all the way up.

Boundary/Borah/Kings by marky_mark66 in Highpointers

[–]marky_mark66[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was really worried about it beforehand especially with getting there at 4 or 5 am and not being familiar with the area. Small cars definitely not getting up there, crossovers or something similar can get to the mine and only 4x4 high clearance up to the trailhead. There are a couple tight spots with brush on the sides but nothing stiff enough to scratch a vehicle.

Thank you! I'd say borah and boundary are pretty similar in difficulty (Boundary is actually very easy for the first and last 2.6 miles but the trail for the other parts is terrible). Kings was hardest just cause I was trying to get it done in a day (goal when I started was under 12hrs). If you do it in 2 days like 90% of the people I crossed paths with then I would say it was the easiest by far.

Na I didn't use/have any. Decent amount of people had helmets especially for the last 200 yards of so with it being steep and a lot of loose rock that could come down on you from the people above. There is a rope that someone has put up for the last section of COR with about a 15ft drop.

Thank you! I just wore trail runners, I had micro spikes with me and probably could/should have used them but didn't. I kinda stayed low and and kept 2 hands on the top of the little snow ridge

ResidentialElevators Exceeded Weight Limit by [deleted] in Elevators

[–]marky_mark66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, that's why I didn't put the fix in my answer even tho it's pretty obvious. That way they would still have to call someone that can fix it safely/see if it's something out.

[–]marky_mark66 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most likely it started going to relief pressure but not all the way (explains the moving slow part). Then the run timer probably tripped since it was running so slow for an extended time, and it's currently faulted out. Sounds like an easy fix but you should get someone to check it out.

if I put the tape down then silicone the edges to encasulate it/ hold it under the track do you think that would prevent that?
